Pointers To Coming Up With Perfect Spiritual Sermons For Your Congregation

By Donna Morgan


As a preacher, you have the responsibility of preaching to the masses and guiding them in their spiritual path. This is done by preparing a sermon that is good every time that you stand at the podium or any other platform that is offered to you. It is assumed that preachers have an easy time delivering a sermon, but this is not the case. Here is a step by step guideline on how you should prepare for the best spiritual sermons.

God speaks to people through preachers and missionaries. Thus, the first thing you need to do when preparing what to preach is to spend time in prayer. Prayers will help you connect with God, and you will get inspiration on what to share with your congregation. Pray for guidance and ask God to speak through you.

Read different bible versions. You do not want to read one text because it may be misleading. Every translator of the Bible has their language and understanding. If you depend on one, you will notice that it misses something or there is material added. There are different translations, and you need to know what each says before you prepare your sermon.

You need to understand your audience well when preparing for a sermon. Things like the audience environment and problems should be known to you. You should also know what inspires them most. With such knowledge, you will be able to offer a Godly solution to those people. The Holy Spirit will also guide you when it comes to this.

When delivering the sermon, you need to have points which will guide you. In that way, your sermon will be orderly, and you will minister to many people. Your audience will also understand your sermon if you prepare it in an orderly manner. A poorly prepared sermon may end up not having an impact on the people.

You also need to find someone to read through your sermon before you deliver it. Such a person will help you point out ideas which might have been left out. Also, they will help you to remove unnecessary things from the sermon. A critic will help you pinpoint some of the things that may bring tension or misunderstanding. They will also offer advice on the best way to deliver your sermon.

You may prepare a good message, but how you present it may be lacking. You need to prepare and practice. It is essential that you find an audience. You can practice in front of your family or even in front of a mirror, but practicing is very important.

Research on topics you intend to address; read ideas and thoughts of other preachers on those topics so as to get more informed. A good sermon is the one that adds value to the spirituality of your congregation. Strive to make your people understand God, believe in him, and live a Godly life. Ensure that you preach about love, peace, and forgiveness. Encourage your listeners to have faith in God and spread the gospel.
