#168 | A System of Sermon Preparation

H.B. Charles, Jr.
About this episode

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better. 

In this episode, H.B. discusses a system of sermon preparation. Although the principles of sermon preparation are common, each preacher must develop, practice, and refine his own process for moving from text to sermon. 

What does a system of sermon preparation involve? 

  1. Study the text.
  2. Consult the resources. 
  3. Craft the sermon. 
  4. Write the manuscript. 
  5. Internalize the message.
