Welcome to The On Preaching podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better. 

In this episode of the podcast, H.B. discusses the hard work of preaching. Effective preaching is text-driven, has a clear message, and involves hard work. 

Many congregations feel their pastors only work on Sunday, if then. That should not be the case. We should strive to give God our best in sermon preparation and delivery (2 Timothy 2:15). 

What does the hard work of preaching involve? 

1. The hard work of careful reading.
2. The hard work of believing prayer. 
3. The hard work of critical thinking. 
4. The hard work of creative writing. 
5. The hard work of pastoral leadership.
