People come to church seeking comfort, encouragement, empowerment, and liberation. Preachers are under a divine imperative to provide a word that will minister all those thingsto all people and especially to the least of these.
Author and pastor Elaine Flake seizes that imperative and crafts a womanist theology and practice of preaching to the population most overlooked and overwhelmed in our pews: wounded womenwomen who are wounded by virtue of their gender and more particularly black women who are also wounded by virtue of their race.
Discover how to unfold in every sermon the good news that brings healing, instead of more hurt, to black women. Flake offers samples from her own ministry, sermons that explore the lives of misunderstood women from the Bible, including:
- The wives of Job and Lot
- The daughters of Zelophehad
- Hagar, the Egyptian
- Leah, the unloved
- The poor widow
- And the "woman with the issue of blood"
All are women with deep wounds; all have modern equivalents in the church today. Learn to feel their pain and then preach their stories with the power to redeem and restore.
