- “You’re boring.”
- We don’t want to bore people with the message of Christ
- How do we share the message?
- Paul - Romans 10 :14-15 NLT - USE FOR CHANGE
- Jesus is the headline for everything
- Messengers
- 2 Timothy 4:2
- Patiently - Correct, encourage, rebuke
- Definition of Preaching
- Truth through personality, made alive by the Holy Spirit that results in changed lives.
- Applications always trumps acquisition
- People might need to live out the last sermon they heard
- Written words do not produce life change
- Matthew 7:24-27
- God does not shape us in the knowing but in the doing
- We need to help people understand what to do next. How do they follow-up with what is spoken
- Preach with authority - the WORD
- Preach the truth
- Preach with integrity - the LIFE
- “Follow me as I follow Christ” - Paul
- This generation listens with their eyes. Words matter less than actions.
- Preach with Humility - the ATTITUDE
- preachers are not superior. They struggle just as much as everyone else.
- If people only hear stories of victory - they lose hope.
- If they only hear stories of failure. they lose respect
- Preach with simplicity - the message
