The sermon should begin by telling the story of the man who brought his son to be healed by Jesus. The story should be told completely and in a way that people can feel, see, and touch the story. I would say that you tell the story from the centurion stopping Jesus up until Jesus told him that his servant shall be healed. Then give the three points. After that pick the story back up on the way home for the celebration.

Some of our colleagues were shocked at the sermon by Jeremiah Wright. I think one should read and hear a full sermon, and the full body of work, of a preacher before jumping to conclusions about one’s love for the country. Here is a sermon that can help you gain context on this preacher.

Check out Pastor Charles G. Adams’ sermon that he preached at the New Baptist Covenant Celebration. The sermon can be found at this link.

My classmate, James Moultry, sent in this link which is on the Big Daddy Weave website. That is a Baptist blog that some of you may want to check out.

Introduction: This sermon short is basically a pointer to help someone think about a text and turn it into a sermon. It is not meant to be preached now, but needs some beefing up. I have included some helpful pointers in how to preach it in the text of the sermon.

It Doesn’t Make Sense.

In this sermon Pastor Cox finds in the book of Jeremiah the answer which is, Buy Your Field!
