The 5 P’s of Preaching

Have you ever bombed a sermon? I definitely have more times than I want to remember.

The thing I find to be true is that most of the time when I preach bad it was because I didn’t prepare properly:

• I got too busy during the week and didn’t put the time in.
• I cut corners and preached something that I heard someone else say.
• I just started writing and didn’t take the time to pray and seek direction from God.

That is why I am a firm believer in the 5 P’s of Preaching:

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Preaching.

If you want to preach a great sermon, you have to prepare properly.

You cannot coast on talent alone. You cannot ride solo on only a good idea. You have to put in the hard work. You have to put in the time.

Because of this, I have a tried and true sermon writing method that I have used for years. It keeps me focused on putting in the real work that is needed to write a compelling sermon.

It has worked wonders for me.

Want to know what it is?

Well… this week I sat down and created a cool resource for all of you. I call it “The 7 Step Sermon Prep Checklist.”

It’s a checklist designed to walk you through the same seven step process that I use to write my messages.

Just print this bad boy out, put it on your desk, and check it off as you work on writing your next sermon.

You can get it absolutely FREE with a subscription to my email list!
