B. Choosing Sermons
Preachers should follow the Holy Spirit in choosing sermons. The Lord may place ideas in a preacher’s mind that leads the preacher to preach on a particular subject. In following the Spirit to decide upon a sermon, consider the needs of your congregation. Does the congregation need comfort, admonition, or guidance on some theological issue Consider your own concerns, joys, or special insights. What is the Lord placing on your heart Pray that the Lord will give you the words to speak. Once you decide on a sermon or ab series of planned sermons, choose the type of sermon expository, topical, or a character study. In an expository sermon, the preacher expounds on the truths found a Biblical text. Ina topical sermon, the preacher selects a topic and then presents truths found throughout the Bible in relation to that topic. Ina character study, the preacher chooses a Biblical character and tells about that character.
