This excerpt from Robert Little’s book on reimagining preaching and leading worship (https://theendlessbookcase.com/books/re-imagining-preaching-and-leading-worship/) offers guidance on effective presentation techniques for sermons, emphasising the importance of engaging listeners by understanding their needs and interests. It explores different methods of sermon delivery, such as reading from a script versus using notes, outlining these methods’ respective advantages and disadvantages. The text also highlights the significance of preparation and rehearsal in crafting a memorable and impactful message, alongside advice on creating strong beginnings and fostering an intellectual and emotional connection with the congregation. Furthermore, it discusses elements including language choice, storytelling, the rule of three and even the preacher’s appearance to enhance the overall effectiveness and memorability of the sermon.
