Welcome to the show. Today we're talking with author and pastor Talbot Davis. Talbot has been a pastor for almost 30 years. He had a revelation of sorts a few years ago where he realized that the sermon outline like he had been doing, with fill in the blanks, alliteration, quippy points that all start with the same letter - that this approach was not making the impact with his people that he desired. He heard Andy Stanley and others that influenced him to move to a one point message approach. Sermons with only one singular takeaway. Join us today as we answer these questions: - How does he do it? - How does he craft a message with only one clear bottom line? - What is his framework? - How does he start his sermons? - Does he preach off the cuff or with a Manuscript? - What are the lasting benefits or success stories of simplifying the message? This and more, on today's episode! SHOW NOTES --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/makingsundayhappen/support

This week’s message (and chapter 5 in the book) is titled, “The Beauty of Name Dropping.” We typically think of name dropping as a negative thing (and it can be!), but in Nehemiah 3, we see how Nehemiah’s name dropping can teach us some important truths about our faith. Our text for this week is the whole of chapter 3, which consists of a long list of names of those who worked on the Jerusalem wall. These long Biblical lists are often the kind of thing we want to skip over and yet we must acknowledge that they were included for a reason. In Nehemiah’s case, he wants to deflect attention and accolades away from himself and onto those people who did the hard work of rebuilding the wall. After all, the wall is not his legacy. The people he has gathered and empowered to build the wall — the people are his legacy, they are his enduring mark on the world. Talbot Davis puts it this way, “He is less concerned with what he has built and more interested in the people he has built up.” This may be a subtle shift in how we think about legacy but it’s a critical one. Leaving your mark isn’t about what you accomplish. It’s about who you influence.

  This Sunday, August 25, we will continue our sermon series featuring the book “Solve: Finding God’s Solutions in a World of Problems” by Rev. Talbot Davis. In week 1 we looked at how we often confuse our problems and our solutions. A lot of times what we identify as a problem is really just a bad solution we have chosen to attempt to deal with what the real problem is. This Sunday we’ll consider Nehemiah 2 with a message titled, “Let’s Do This!” After so many years the exiles who did return to Jerusalem got used to living in ruins. They stopped seeing how bad things were. We get used to what is unacceptable, too. It becomes our new “normal,” but God wants more for us. God wants us to follow Nehemiah’s example to confront the unacceptable conditions in our lives to move toward transformation and healing.

This Sunday, August 18, we will start a new sermon series featuring the book *"Solve: Finding God's Solutions in a World of Problems"* by Rev. Talbot Davis. In week 1 we'll look at how we often confuse our problems and our solutions. A lot of times what we identify as a problem is really just a bad solution we have chosen to attempt to deal with what the real problem is, and we'll meet Nehemiah, who understood the problem wasn't the walls in Jerusalem needing to be rebuilt; rather the problem was his sin and need to repent. That had to come first or a new wall around Jerusalem would be irrelevant. And God never does something great through us until God does something significant in us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdgAeNTjaGM Watch the Video and more here: http://findnewhope.com/resources/sermons/ --- Donate via PayPal to support the podcasts and the Technical Arts Ministry of New Hope! https://goo.gl/o2a9oU Subscribe to our New Hope UMC Sunday Sermon Podcast on: * Apple Podcasts - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/new-hope-umc-sunday-sermon-podcast/id1093524425?mt=2 * Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2habfMJ6S8jirQnpimNwHg?si=nKlvpZRrQYKnsJSJc6Du3Q) * Stitcher Radio - http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=87782&refid=stpr) * Subscribe on Android - http://subscribeonandroid.com/findnewhopesunday.libsyn.com/rss * Google Play - https://play.google.com/music/m/Ijonx62ajd5qwxv3qgxkizdqnva?t=New_Hope_UMC_Sunday_Sermon_Podcast) * YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFZw6j-ZlY45HU-m-lQ5XYuphsrbeJMsk Connect with New Hope: * Website: http://www.findnewhope.com/ * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brandonchurchfl * Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/findnewhope

Breakthrough ideas with Talbot:  Twitter is a great place to improve as a wordsmith because it forces clarity of communication. It is possible for social media to make you a better pastor and leader. Making diversity the cause only results in political correctness, so make Jesus the cause and let diversity be the result. Bringing … Read More Read More

Rev. Talbot Davis from Good Shepherd UMC in Charlotte, NC was guest preacher for our annual RENEWAL Series of services --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pleasant-garden-united-methodist-church/support

Scott interviews Rev. Talbot Davis, pastor at Good Shepherd UMC in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Abingdon author. We explore the small group ministry model at Good Shepherd, multi-ethnic small groups, and the use of Davis’ books as small group resources.

This Sunday, July 8, we will finish up our sermon series, "The Storm Before the Calm" based on Talbot Davis' book by the same name. This week's message, "After the Storm," is based on what happened right after the flood. The fact is there is more danger after success than after failure. Noah, one described as "blameless" and "righteous," did something that missed the mark of God's full intention for his life after the storm, which led to consequences for generations to come. We can't forget to lean on God when things are going well or we just might find ourselves in deeper trouble than we experienced through the storm. To be ready for the message read Genesis 9 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+9&version=NLT) Pray for those who actually cause storms for others. Pray for those who are in the path of these people who create storms in our lives and leave consequences for years to come. Pray for those who need to know not only that God is with them through the storm, but that God is with them in the calm. Pray that we will all know Jesus Christ is our shelter in the storms that come our way. A Five Week series based on the Book by Talbot Davis.

Week 4 of Eye Rollers with Talbot Davis.

Week 3 of Eye Rollers with Talbot Davis.

The mission of The United Methodist podcast with Dr. Brad Miller is strengthening the connection in United Methodist Church for the purpose of making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. In episode #005 of the United Methodist Podcast Dr. Brad Miller has a conversation with Rev. Talbot Davis pastor of Good Shepherd United Methodist Church in Charlotte North Carolina and author of “Solve: Finding God Solutions In A World of Problems.” Rev. Davis is the author of several books based on sermon series preached at Good Shepherd UMC. In each book Rev. Talbot takes on problematic scriptures which pose modern-day dilemmas for people. He approaches these scriptures with his own unique take and twist. One of the things Davis likes to say is "do not be afraid to walk into dark places… dealing with a hard sayings of Jesus." In "Solve" Davis grapples with the book of Nehemiah and fpeople who see problems around every corner can be addressed by people who are what he calls "solutionist” people in the model of Nehemiah who seek positive and innovative solutions to problems. The book is particularly aimed at problem solving in the local church. Davis has great experience in the local church, having grown Good Shepherd UMC to over 2000 attendance with a very diverse congregation including people from 40 different countries with various ethnic and language and cultural backgrounds. Talbot has led Good Shepherd to focus singularly on a "living relationship" with Jesus as tantamount to everything else done in the church. This focus is lived out strategically when a "sermon series is more than a series of sermons.” An example of such was mentioned in “Solve" when Good Shepherd UMC had a “Food Network Sunday" which raised a record amount of food for local Charlotte, North Carolina food pantries. There is also the personal touch inasmuch as every new guest at worship receives a hand written welcome letter from the pastor. Davis warns that the church should never be clever for clever sake because people remain desperate in sin and seek simple direct solutions to their pain and that solution is clearly stated as "the gospel works." Davis goes on to share with Brad a church revitalization and multiplication endeavor that good Shepherd is involved with as well as the connection that Talbot Davis has between tennis and the gospel. Episode #005 of the United Methodist Gospel podcast is sponsored by the book “Meet the Good People" by Rev. Dr. Roger Ross and is supportive of “Mission Guatemala" led by Rev. Tom Heaton.
