Preaching as Reminding

We know of the preacher's roles as both teacher and proclaimer,
but Jeffrey Arthurs adds another assignment: the Lord's remembrancer. The
remembrancer stirs the memory of Christ-followers, reminding them of the truths
they once heard and fanning the flames of faith.
We live in an age of forgetfulness, so when knowledge fades and
conviction cools, the church needs to be reminded of the great truths of the
faith. When done well, preaching as reminding is not empty, perfunctory
repetition. Rather, it is the work of soul-watchers. Preaching as Reminding
describes the dynamic role of the remembrancer, who prompts thankfulness and
repentance, raises hope, fosters humility and wisdom, exhorts obedience, and
encourages community.
With decades of preaching experience, Arthurs explains how to stir
memory through vivid language, story, delivery, and ceremony. He urges
preachers to take up this task with buoyancy and hope because the Lord God has
commissioned and equipped them to serve as the Lord's remembrancers.
