This article is a primer for pastors on how to engage the Greek text of the New Testament and faithfully construct a sermon that is true to the thrust and shape of the original in its ancient context and, as such, freighted with gospel power and wholly relevant and applicable to modern cultures. It provides instructions on engaging the Greek text, discerning the theme and symmetries of the text, consulting commentaries, nalizing the outline, and applying and illustrating the text.
