Constructing the Sermon 4 months ago idea which works really well for me over the last 30 years/every sunday preaching preparation time ease/is this. keep sermons real in matter drawn from your nearby weeks. draw from your church’s vision or community progress or challenges. Allow sermon ideas, focus to run through your heart and mind for a bit each day and every event. (don’t seek to turn of the switch on Sunday night)
the advantage to this real heart and real matter is easier to manage for time sake and quality.
cheers/enjoy
I agree, Don. I remember Haddon Robinson saying that the most powerful illustrations he has used or heard were the ones most closely drawn from the preacher and listener’s recent life experience. What you are talking about is that we learn to live like a preacher, where everything we experience is viewed through the prism of our preaching. This results in deeper assimilation of our preaching as well.
