Seasoned pastor, Terry L. Johnson, shares practical wisdom for pastors to help them prioritise their public ministry. Includes foreword by Ligon Duncan. Ministers, in our age, are expected to be jacks–of–all–trades. However important administration, committee work, counselling, and relationship building may be,the pastor's public ministry in the preaching of the Word and leading of public worship and prayer are fundamental.The Bible lays out specific qualifications for elders and deacon. The gospel is guarded by requiring those who hold public office to have high standards of knowledge,character, and conduct. Terry Johnson lays out that, if this is true for "lay"leadership, how much more important for those called to ministry.With years of experience, and practical wisdom, Terry L. Johnson guides pastors to think through each of the key aspects of public worship.If you are just starting out in ministry, or have been serving the Lord for many years, a prayerful reading of this book will be of great benefit to your ministry, and your congregation.Contents:Leading in WorshipFirst PriorityPrinciples of Worship LeadershipServices of WorshipPublic ServicesWell–orderedReverentWell–pacedClergy–ledSimple yet excellentLeading in PraiseIs it singable?Is it biblically and theologically sound?Is it biblically and theologically mature?Is it emotionally balanced?Is it demographically comprehensive?Leading in PrayerBackgroundRecent TimesPersonal ExperienceRecommendations for Public PrayerScripturalPlannedBriefUndilutedAppropriateFull diet of prayerClear headingsExamplePreachingLectio continuaTextualWithout FormulasAssume IgnoranceExplain ContextReview and RepeatApplicationBrevityUrgencyAuthenticExhortation

Review

… the kind of book that every seminary student should read before beginning his ministry and a ready reminder to serving pastors of the deep significance of what they do every Lord's Day in leading people in their corporate engagement with God. -- Iver Martin(Principal, Edinburgh Theological Seminary, Edinburgh, Scotland)Not only will pastors be helped by this excellent little book but so too will sessions and church members who may need reminding what precisely it is that pastors are called and ordained to do.  -- Todd Pruitt(Pastor, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Harrisonburg, Virginia)Johnson offers some of the most practical advice anywhere on public prayer … I particularly appreciated his emphasis on how public prayer should utilize the language of Scripture, noting that one ought no more to pray without preparation than to preach without preparation. We greatly need this book. -- Douglas F. Kelly(Professor of Theology Emeritus, Reformed Theological Seminary, Charlotte, North Carolina)Terry Johnson has done it again. Brief, clear, and brimming with practical wisdom gleaned from nearly 40years of ordained ministry, this resource is unparalleled. -- Neil Stewart(Senior Minister, First Presbyterian Church (ARP), Columbia, South Carolina)
