Have you transferred across to the new Unashamed Workman blog? We are no longer posting here, but across at www.unashamedworkman.org. The site is for pastors and all those who want to listen well to the Word of God.

We have a new team of contributors writing fresh articles every week.
We have Workman’s Toolbox entries that link preachers to relevant material all over the web.
We have new answers to our ten questions for expositors series.
We have the same old commitment to encouraging expository preaching.

Ouch!

Great article at the new Unashamed Workman website: “This might sting.”

“The sermon became our baby and we made it through the delivery! And now someone is about to tell us that our baby is ugly, or that our baby did something wrong. ” (Tim Bridges)

Unashamed Workman Relaunch

Colin Adams — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:33:42 +0000

I wanted to announce that after a six month hiatus, Unashamed Workman will soon be relaunching.

The emphasis on preaching will certainly continue. But we will be moving to a multiple author format on a brand new website.

This should enhance the blog in terms of the frequency, quality and breadth of content.

Stay tuned. Keep preaching.

Apparently there have been some advertisements appearing at the bottom of Unashamed Workman blog posts.

A kind brother informed me of this by email, and explained that WordPress have now started adding these adverts to the bottom of every blog post (usually a You Tube video). Annoyingly, I have been unable to see these myself because I am constantly ‘logged in’ to WordPress.

So I apologise if any unhelpful advertisements have appeared at the bottom of posts. This has not been of my own making.

I will have to consider whether to continue using the WordPress platform (and pay up for the privelege of a “no adds” option). Perhaps I may find another host altogether. In either case, I may not be posting for a little while.

Your fellow servant in the gospel,

Colin Adams

ps. I apologise if this blogpost also comes with an advertisement!

David Murray talks about 10 common preaching mistakes:

1. Cramming

2. Skimming

3. Floating

4. Proof-texting

5. Quoting

6. Lecturing

7. Assuming

8. Confusing

9. Spraying

10. Complicating

If God were mute, then so would the preacher be.

Preaching About Preaching

Colin Adams — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:32:11 +0000

Recently I preached about preaching. The sermon looked at the foundational basis of preaching (God achieves his purposes through His Word), the role of the preacher, and how the congregation should listen to sermons.

The outline was:

The Lord Speaks
The Preacher Proclaims
The Church Hears

Here is the audio: “Preaching.”
