Sermons with Power

Since publishing the Preaching With Power course 4 years ago ( http://www.preachwithpower.org) I have come to realize that there are a lot of preachers who want help with their sermons. What most of them want is some guidance in how to preach sermons that are effective and interesting. My best advice for most of them is to start with one questions. Why am I preaching a sermon on this particular day to these particular people? If you cannot answer that question it becomes more difficult to create a sermon that will be effective.

Why are you preaching to them? This questions determines if you will be developing an evangelistic sermon, a sermon to help Christians grow in grace, or a sermon teaching a particular doctrine. So begin each sermon study with this question. Why am I preaching?

This becomes the ultimate purpose of the sermon and will determine the scriptures you use and the points you make from the scripture.
