50 Great Soul-Winning Motivational Sermons

from the INTRODUCTION: One of my greatest challenges as a pastor was to motivate and encourage church members to share the gospel. My greatest joy was equipping and seeing church members lead lost people to know and follow Him. I was always in need of a fresh word from God to call them to commitment. Some pastors are hesitant to use sermon material written by someone else. No pastor should apologize for doing so. The pur­ pose of this book is to provide preachable sermons. All 50 writers hope that you will find their materials useful in the pulpit to the glory of God. I was tempted to ask that this book be titled Pastor, Please Preach These Sermons! Church members desperately need to hear God' s call to share the good news. I am convinced that there are multiplied thousands of Christians who would be active in making disciples if they heard clearly from their pastors about God' s expectations of them in this regard. As the compiler of this book, my own life has been greatly enriched by reading and arranging the sermons. In fact, I found that I could work with the sermons only a few hours at a time before feeling the need to leave my desk and go search for someone with whom to share the good news of Jesus Christ. It is my prayer that the same and more will happen to you. Jack Smith Home Mission Board, SBC Atlanta, Georgia 1994
