  • An old sermon ms

    This is way old, way longer than I preach now, and contains a lot of cues that show I was still in seminary.
    Anyone who makes it to the end deserves some sort of reward. I changed names.

    Find the right role model (Preaching again)

    Nothing can make a good preacher worse than trying to follow the style of a great preacher.
    That’s an exaggeration. There are probably many things that can make one worse.
    But my point is simple: you can’t just imitate anyone and expect the results to be the same as those of the person your imitating.  People […]

    Don’t try to say too much

    A minster once told me that, before preaching any passage, he thinks about how long the Bible is compared to how much longer he can expect to live and reminds himself that this is probably the last chance he will ever have to preach that particular passage to the congregation.
    Since the man is a successful […]

    Striving for average?

    OK, it hit me this morning that I have done something insane. I have blogged about preaching. Worse, I think I’m going to do it again. I’ve even added a category.
    Well, just for the record, this doesn’t mean I think I’m a great preacher. One of the things I think that […]

    When something in the sermon blows up

    Mike Hyatt watched a presentation melt down due to technology failure (and non-presentation-savvy tech help). He offers some great advice for dealing with such situations. Read the whole thing, but I’ll reproduce one piece of his advice that would be good to keep in mind for any sermon, no matter what the source […]
