    It is easy to preach over the heads of the people in the pew. As preaching, we want to preach the truth, but we should also desire to preach the truth in simple terms everyone can understand. In this episode, I want to explore a booklet entitled Simplicity in Preaching by J.C. Ryle. Bishop Ryle does a tremendous job of teaching how to preach simple sermons.

    If you would like to obtain a copy of this book, you can do so by using the links below.

    1. Banner of Truth has this booklet for $2.70. https://banneroftruth.org/us/store/booklets/simplicity-in-preaching/

    2. This website makes the .PDF available free of charge: http://www.onthewing.org/user/Ryle%20-%20Simplicity%20in%20Preaching.pdf

    Do yourself and your congregation a favor. Get this booklet, read it, and put it into practice in your preaching.

    We are all aware of the reality pain in life. This episode reminds us there is hope for us amid the main and suffering of life. I hope to encourage preaching to remain faithful when life falls apart around you. You can preach even when you heart, body, and mind are under assault.

  • 151 - The Struggles Of Preparing Weekly Sermons
    Jan 30 2025

    Send us a text

    Preachers who prepare new sermons on a weekly basis can find themselves overwhelmed by the process. In this episode, we will discuss 10 struggles faced by preachers who prepare sermons weekly.

    1. The Weight of Spiritual Responsibility
    2. Time Constraints and Competing Demands
    3. The Pressure of Creativity and Originality
    4. Scriptural Interpretation and Theological Complexity
    5. Engaging a Diverse Audience
    6. The Emotional Toll of Preaching
    7. Maintaining Relevance in a Rapidly Changing World
    8. The Risk of Routine and Complacency
    9. Balancing Transparency and Authority
    10. The Role of Feedback and Accountability

    The struggles of preparing weekly sermons are as diverse as the preachers undertaking this task. From the spiritual weight of representing God’s voice to the practical challenges of managing time and engaging a diverse audience, the process is both demanding and deeply rewarding. Despite these challenges, preachers persevere, driven by their calling and love for the people they serve.

    By acknowledging and addressing these struggles, clergy members can find ways to navigate the demands of sermon preparation with grace and resilience. This may involve seeking support from colleagues, engaging in ongoing education, or carving out time for rest and renewal. Ultimately, preaching is not just a duty but a sacred privilege—an opportunity to touch hearts, transform lives, and witness God’s word’s enduring power.
