I believe that a sermon should be preached in such a way as to expose the text of SWcripture so that it can be clearly understood |

|
|
* I believe that the most powerful sermons come to a preacher who is listening for God to give him an idea which, having recieved, he then carefully researches in God's Word to find illustration, instruction and support. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that the preacher must seek to be authentic in his preaching by telling stories about his life and sharing personal struggles that he is personally going throuth. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that there are some texts of Scripture that should be avoided in preaching because they are not relevant. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that the intent of th esermon shoud reflect the intent of the author. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that faithful preaching requires me to speak boldly and with conviction about the substance of the text. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that the preacher should refrain from pressing home a text because that is solely the responsibility of the Holy Spirit. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that the content of the sermon should be guided by the Holy Spirit’s leading and not restrained by the content of the text |

I believe that it is the job of the preacher to faithfully and accurately present God’s Truth to his hearers. |
| |
|
|
|
|
* I believe that the sermon should give ample illustrations or instructions for implementing the intent of the text. |
