Guidelines To Follow When Preparing For Spiritual Sermons

By Donna Morgan


As a preacher, you have the responsibility of preaching to the masses and guiding them in their spiritual path. This is done by preparing a sermon that is good every time that you stand at the podium or any other platform that is offered to you. It is assumed that preachers have an easy time delivering a sermon, but this is not the case. Here is a step by step guideline on how you should prepare for the best spiritual sermons.

For you to preach effectively, you need to be guided by the Holy Spirit. You can only be guided by the Holy Spirit when you pray. Therefore as a preacher, is it advisable that you consult God before preaching rather than preaching from your mind. Preachers who never pray before they preach often fail to touch the lives of people.

Read different bible versions. You do not want to read one text because it may be misleading. Every translator of the Bible has their language and understanding. If you depend on one, you will notice that it misses something or there is material added. There are different translations, and you need to know what each says before you prepare your sermon.

You need to understand your audience well when preparing for a sermon. Things like the audience environment and problems should be known to you. You should also know what inspires them most. With such knowledge, you will be able to offer a Godly solution to those people. The Holy Spirit will also guide you when it comes to this.

A homily should be understood easily. Make sure that your sermon has a good structure. You can make points that will guide your preaching. The sermon should feel natural and have a good flow of words and thoughts. You may put together a good homily, but if it does not have the right structure, all will be in vain.

Share your message with someone who will offer you constructive criticism. By sharing the sermon, you may get something that you have missed. You may also correct something that you may have included that would be misleading or may create tension among many people.

You may prepare a good message, but how you present it may be lacking. You need to prepare and practice. It is essential that you find an audience. You can practice in front of your family or even in front of a mirror, but practicing is very important.

One of the responsibilities of a pastor is offering a good sermon. A good sermon is a sermon which speaks to the spirits of people as well as guides people on how they are supposed to live. Preparation is, therefore, essential when it comes to this. The article discusses how you are supposed to prepare such a sermon.
