preaching tips

TenPreaching Tips

1. What I preach with my words and what I preach with my life

should match.

Ask yourself 3 questions:

¿Does my family believe me?

¿How about my friends?

¿I’m I living it?

2. Without a clear plan, I will preach always about the

same thing.

The single most important element in

effective communication is

“focus”.

Prophecy

Family

Relationships

Finances

Doctrine

Leadership

Evangelism

Health

3. Evaluation is hard, sometimes painful, always necessary.

You need three people

A mentor that can teach you

A friend that can support you.

A student you can teach.

Evaluate yourself in 4 áreas

1. Presentation

2. Topic

3. Time

4. Practicality

4. Speaking in front of an audience is

intimidating. Speaking for God is a

priviledge.

5. There is nothing new

under the sun.

6. If you want to impress the audience,

talk about your successes. If you want

to impact them, talk about failures.

When you share your testimony

1. Careful, but real.

2. Talk more about the power of God than the allure of sin.

3. Ask permission if using a private or personal story.

8. The audience determines the

content.

Questions before you preach

What are their needs?

What are their interests?

What are their dreams?

What can they understand?

What are their hurts?

So what?

9. The key to improving your preaching is…

preaching!

Many said they feared death less than public speaking.

1.The more you do it, the better you get.

2.Fear never leaves, you just learn to manage it better.

3.The better prepared you are the better luck you have.

10. No matter where you start, always end

at the cross.
