Utilizing Homiletic Structure

 

One thing that is helpful to remember when creating sermons is that sermons are intended to be preached and not read word for word. The point of a great sermon is for it to have an immediate impact upon your listening audience; whether in person, via video, or audio. In order to realize this impact, your thoughts, ideas, and revelation should be well structured, organized,  and outlined to ensure that the main points are highlighted and conveyed to your listening audience.

 

While listening to you minister, your audience should be able to easily understand and grasp both the main points and supplementary aspects of your message. Therefore, it may be a good idea for you to understand and utilize a homilietic structure that will help you keep your message focused and concise for maximum impact and expression. By doing so, you will be well on your way to creating clear, dynamic sermons that will clearly expose the revelation and truths you seek to convey from the Word of God.
