This quarterly audio collection of sermons offers preachers both a
continuing education element and an invitation to be renewed in
their own faith and ministry through the preaching of others.
Luther Seminary biblical preaching faculty and guests provide
teaching comments, paired with sermons that reflect the theme.
All of the sermons were preached during Luther Seminary's daily
worship in the Chapel of the Incarnation.
This quarterly series is a superb idea that meets a real need
in preachers' lives. Not only do they get exposed to new
teachings that will help them to sharpen their homiletical
skills, they get to hear excellent preaching that mines a rich
collection of recorded sermons from Luther Seminary. I know of
no resource like it--I will use it in my own teaching.

This fine audio resource on preaching is both informative and
encouraging. The teaching is sharp, the instruction is solid,
and the presentations and sermons are quite engaging. Preachers
will discover many new ideas here, but best of all, by hearing
other preachers practice the craft, they will find themselves
strengthened for the ministry of preaching.

A wonderful resource for anyone looking to extend the
sermon-preparation conversations. And you can even listen to
this one in the car!
Anna Carter Florence
Associate Professor of Homiletics

Preaching is
hard work. Even those who have natural gifts for communication
of the gospel need to attend to the weekly task of creating a
message that is pertinent and meaningful to God’s people. You
can do this on your own, of course, but many of us have found
that doing so in community and conversation with others is a
significant way to keep our preaching fresh and alive. “In the
Company of Preachers” is a resource that places you in such a
community and conversation. It is filled with solid
teaching—what one might need to enroll in a DMin course to
get—along with sermons that will refresh your homiletical
spirit. What better way for preachers to learn and grow in their
own craft, than to listen to someone other than themselves speak
the Word occasionally. The voices heard in this series will be
those that can teach best practice and provide spiritual
nourishment for those who are so involved in preaching the Word,
they may miss its impact for their own lives.
