If you're a pastor trying to craft a well-researched sermon, you've probably spent hours pouring over commentaries that focus on little details instead of the main point. Or, if you are a pastor who is trying very diligently to prepare a sermon that will strike your congregants hearts, you might have turned to a devotional commentary. But these may contain exegetical weaknesses. How do you get the best of the both?
