Preacher

I approach sermon preparation, writing, and delivery from an artistic angle.  As a result they are creative, engaging, and relevant messages that offer practical application and challenge growth through accurate handling of God’s Word.  I enjoy using interactive learning, humor, and fun to teach, motivate, and challenge.

A Sunday Sermon “win” is based on the following goals:

1. Theologically sound, imaginatively creative

   • God’s Word handled and presented correctly in a fresh way

2. Clear thesis / proposition statement

   • The main point is:

   • Very specific and focused

   • Memorable – using some sort of a “hook”

3. Motivational

   • The message motivates

   • Engaging the listeners by answering the question “why”

   • Causes visible emotion and feeling

   • Inspires continued personal study

   • Moves for change or improvement

4. Applicable

   • The listeners will clearly know how to apply this in their life

   • This is a “call to action”

   • Gives something that can be done
