This excerpt from Robert Little’s book (https://theendlessbookcase.com/books/re-imagining-preaching-and-leading-worship/) advises preachers on personal development for effective ministry, stressing the importance of believing in God’s Word and diligent preparation that connects with the audience and offers practical application. It highlights the necessity of continuous learning about content and delivery, suggesting such methods as reading, courses, and listening to other preachers. Furthermore, it underscores focusing on the message over the messenger and provides guidance on sermon construction, including elements such as introduction, tension, truth, application and conclusion. The text also emphasises connecting with listeners through storytelling and clear language, alongside the crucial role of application in driving life change and the value of honest feedback for ongoing improvement.
