Sermons: #

I normally write out my sermons pretty much in full when preparing them. This helps me to figure out whether they likely to be long enough and also provides a safety fall back in case I go completely blank while preaching. Normally though I try not to be paper bound in my preaching so often what I actually say differs from what I wrote, though generally not by a significant amount.

Topical Sermons: #

I don’t often do topical sermons unless there is a specific reason to. The problem I have with topical sermons is not so much that they can’t be good (they often are) but if not balanced with exegetical preaching I find that for myself at least, I tend to ignore the harder passages of scripture and/or the topics that may not be so easy to deal with and/or be interesting.

• Moses
• By Grace - This particular sermon came out of a whole bunch of things that were happening in my life at the time I prepared it and so there was a fair amount of anger in it - which I admit is probably not the best reason for doing a sermon. On the other hand though sometimes hard things need to be said. One person walked out when I was preaching this sermon but when they approached me later I found out their reason for leaving was not what I had expected.
