Learn How To Write a Sermon

LEARN HOW TO WRITE A SERMON provides a structure for writing a sermon. Once you understand the structure, writing a sermon is a breeze.

Learn How To Write A Sermon

Writing sermons week after week can take its toll on ministers, especially if you need to write two or three sermons a week.

Although I learned a method of sermon preparation in my theological training, nevertheless, this method never prepared me for the rigors of weekly sermon writing.

I needed a method or paradigm that would help me write sermons with ease week after week. I did not want to spend Saturday night writing sermons.

The Three Parts of a Sermon

Every sermon has three parts - an introduction, the body and the conclusion.

The most important part of the sermon is the body of the sermon. The body of the sermon is what you are going to talk about and what you are going to say about what you are going to talk about.

Let me explain! The body of your sermon is your sermon outline. Your sermon outline has a main preaching point (what you are going to talk about) and several sub-points (what you are going to say about what you are going to talk about).

For example, you may want to talk about words that build people up in the faith.

You could use the following sermon outline.

There are four words for building people up in the faith. They are:

1. Truthful Words (Ephesians 4:25)
2. Uplifting Words (Ephesians 4:29)
3. Forgiving Words (Ephesians 4:31-32
4. Thankful Words (Ephesians 5:4)
5. Scriptural Words (Colossians 3:16)

This becomes the body of your sermon. Once you form your sermon outline, you simply need to add content to your sub-points and incidental points. Furthermore, you will write an introduction and conclusion once you have finished putting content to your sermon outline.
