Preparation of the Sermon

The charge to stand in front of God’s people and faithfully deliver God’s Word is a serious calling. Congregations can understand and sympathize with the sheer weight of this task. Often, however, what is missed by Christian laypeople is the mental labor of sermon preparation, which faithful sermons emerge from. The Christian minister is overwhelmed with decisions during this time that he may not be prepared for through theological education alone. And an honest minister might wonder if he is doing this part of his job correctly. Perhaps you could turn to one of the greatest evangelical preachers of the twentieth century for help? Listen as Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones considers some of the mechanics of sermon preparation such as: topical preaching, expository preaching, and tips for covering the whole counsel of God’s Word. Working under the framework of Christian liberty and the freedom of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Lloyd-Jones will talk about the pros and cons of other topics such as: preaching through a catechism, the mechanics of sermon series, evangelistic opportunities through the church calendar, and holiday sermons. This is a lecture any aspiring preacher, young minister or veteran preacher would not want to miss!
