Better, Easier Preaching: A Revolutionary Approach to Sermon Preparation
Better, Easier Preaching is an innovative method that transforms the way pastors approach sermon preparation and delivery. This concept is built on the synergy of three powerful elements:
A Structured Foundation: Better, Easier Preaching utilizes a lectionary-based approach, providing preachers with a “track to run on.” By following one of three recommended lectionaries, ministers gain a structured, time-tested framework for selecting scriptures and themes throughout the church year. This eliminates the weekly struggle of choosing a topic and ensures a balanced diet of biblical teaching for the congregation.
The Power of Narrative Theology: At its core, Better, Easier Preaching embraces Narrative Theology, recognizing that the Bible is not just a collection of isolated stories or doctrinal statements, but a grand, overarching narrative of God’s relationship with humanity. This approach helps preachers connect individual passages to the larger story of Scripture, providing context and depth to each sermon.
Jesus’ Preaching Style: Taking inspiration from the Master Teacher Himself, Better, Easier Preaching incorporates the storytelling techniques Jesus used in His parables. By studying and emulating Christ’s use of relatable narratives, vivid imagery, and thought-provoking questions, preachers can craft sermons that engage listeners’ hearts and minds, just as Jesus did.
By combining these three elements, Better, Easier Preaching offers a holistic approach to sermon preparation that is both scripturally grounded and highly effective. This method not only simplifies the sermon creation process but also results in messages that are more engaging, memorable, and transformative for congregations.
Through Better, Easier Preaching, ministers can rediscover the joy of preaching, save valuable time in preparation, and deliver sermons that truly resonate with their listeners – all while staying true to the biblical text, and the example set by Jesus Christ.
