Preaching today is ‘like hot food on a cold plate’

Preaching today is too often ‘like hot food served on a cold plate,’ says a member of the FIEC’s new theology team.
Bill James, Principal of London Seminary, joins Paul Mallard, Sarah Allen, Yannick Christos-Wahab, Jon Gemmell and Martin Salter in the group, which the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches says aims to provide ‘clear resources which will deepen our understanding and equip us to address pastoral needs and respond to contemporary challenges’.
Would Jesus’ preaching pass muster in your church?
Imagine that your church has slipped through a time warp and you find yourselves sitting in the usual building but an unusual location; Capernaum, in the first half of the first century AD.
There is a kerfuffle outside and someone tells you that Jesus himself is passing by. You run outside and invite him in to preach. He accepts!
