The Raw. The Real. The Rookie Year. A Collection of SermonsThat Don't Pull Punches.

What happens when a "theology nerd", trained in Apologetics and Philosophy, steps behind the pulpit for the very first time?

This volume, Sermons: A Preacher's Rookie Year, is a candid collection of messages delivered by Josh Davis during his first year of preaching. These are not polished essays; they are transcriptions of the sermons as they were actually delivered, preserving the preacher's unique voice as he worked to make "high-level" theological issues understandable to "low-level" theologians-the common churchgoer.

Inside, you will find raw, practical messages intended to challenge your complacency, expose the danger of self-reliance, and compel you to see Christ more clearly. This is a passionate call to action: to repent of your sin, surrender to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and take up your cross daily to follow Him.

Sermons: A Preacher's Rookie Year addresses timeless and challenging issues, including:

• "Letter to a Sin-Sick Church"-An in-depth look at Christ's condemnation of the lukewarm church in Laodicea and the dangerous sin of self-reliance (Revelation 3:14-22).

• "The Evidence of True Belief"-A study on genuine faith and obedience.

• "The Harvest is Plentiful"-A charge to the church to participate in Christ's global mission (Matthew 9:35-38).
