You’ve heard me talk often about the “Sermon-Coach Method of Sermon Development.” When I started this eNewsletter back in 2005 as a part of the Sermon-Coach.com website, I did so because God had laid on my heart a desire to help pastors create more effective and more memorable sermons.
As you know, I have observed over my nearly 60 years of ministry that, after a worship service, something happens between the door of the church and the parking lot. The typical parishioner shakes the pastor’s hand at the door and walks toward his or her vehicle. What seemed like a memorable sermon when he or she walked out the door of the church has suddenly vanished from his or her memory. It’s almost as if a “Sermon Sucking Black Hole” has removed the information contained in that well-thought-through sermon from the parishioner’s mind.
In Podcast 225, I illustrate how to use the “Sermon-Coach Method of Sermon Development” to create a sermon that will stick in the memory of those in your congregation well into the week ahead. If you would like to hear what I have to say, I invite you to click the link on this page that will take you to my website and listen to this Podcast.
I hope by now you realize that in these final years of my ministry, I have followed God’s leading and devoted myself to passing on the many lessons He has taught me over the years I have tried to faithfully serve Him. I am honored that you have taken time out of your busy schedule to read what I have to say and listen to my Podcasts. My desire remains similar to your own: to faithfully serve the God who loves us and who has called us into His service on behalf of His Son, Jesus, and His Kingdom.
I continue to receive many positive comments about my latest book entitled The Sermon Sucking Black Hole—Why You Can’t Remember on Monday What Your Minister Preached on Sunday. This book is now available at Amazon.com by clicking here.
This book gives some solid tips to the people sitting in the congregation to help them remember what you’ve said from the pulpit when they come to worship services in your church.
