  • 145 - The Essential Elements Of Biblical Preaching
    Nov 29 2024

    Send us a text

    What are the essential elements of biblical preaching?

    How do you know you’re preaching a Christian sermon and not simply giving a religious or spiritual lecture?

    While gospel-centered expository proclamation is the best approach to fulfilling the biblical call to preach, this episode could probably use more detail. Since preachers like alliteration and lists, I might suggest a checklist reflecting what I propose as the essential factors of faithful Christian preaching. Next time you prepare a sermon, maybe keep these questions in mind. Or, the next time you preach, share this list with your fellow elders or another team of trusted advisers and ask them to apply the questions to your delivered message.

    1. Is your sermon CONTEXTUAL?

    2. Is your sermon CONVICTIONAL?

    3. Is your sermon CLEAR?

    4. Is your sermon COMPASSIONATE?


    5. Is your sermon CROSS-CENTERED?

  • 144 - Why Do You Preach?
    Nov 21 2024

    Send us a text

    In this episode, I want to look at our motivations for preaching. I want us to see that we should preach for some very good reasons, even while we reject some very bad reasons. Listen to this episode, then reach out and let me know what you think.
