Show Your Work

Do you show your work in your preaching?

OK…

I’m trying to think through this…so bear with me…

What you talkign bout Cox?

OK…let me try this…

How do your people know how to apply what you throwing down in the pulpit to their lives?

People apply the scripture to their lives all the time…

Grab The Hymnal

You know what is one of the greatest tools for preacher?

I know you have heard me say it before…And I am on a music kick right now….

but I gotta say….

The Hymnal…

Yeah…I mean the hymnal…

I know what some of you are thinking…

“We don’t use the hymnal.”

or

“Hymnals are old school. We are attempting to reach a younger crowd.”

Preaching From the Overflow

Preach from the overflow.

My homiletics instructor told us. Preach from the overflow.

And I encourage you to take this to heart…

Always go for depth. Whether it be in your exegesis…

Whether it be in your sermon construction…

No Fake Celebration

OK, folks, I’m fixing to put a stake in the ground that is gonna anger some of yall…Forgive me, but I gotta do it…

When you present the truth of the Gospel in all of its implications the people must respond. It may be a calm resolve to follow the word. It may be shouting. It may also include a tear, but there will be a response.

Sometimes you may not even see the response…but there will be a response…

Simple Sermon Construction Method

In the Facebook Group someone wanted a basic sermon construction formula.

This is not the end all be all and hopefully you will move on from this to a full homiletic, but we all have to start somewhere…

In this formula the sermon is essentially 3 Biblical Answers to a Question that you have formulated.
