Top Highlights
“What we preach is always more important than how we preach.” (Page 1)
“Sermon delivery is the servant of sermon content.” (Page 1)
“Every congregation or audience needs to know that the preacher or speaker is (1) a person of competence, a person ‘who knows what he is talking about’; (2) a person of integrity, a person who can be trusted, not a manipulator or exploiter; and (3) a person of vitality, a preacher who communicates a deep sense of belief in all that is said. The messenger’s credibility with the congregation is critical in preaching.” (Page 5)
“Nebulous thinking results in nebulous preaching, and nebulous preaching is never appropriate. Sermon content (what we preach) must be strong, clear, text-centered, and supported by effective delivery.” (Page 2)
“By learning to breathe and speak diaphragmatically, preachers can achieve the full potential of their voices.” (Page 10)
