Can you develop effective lessons for preaching one, two, three, or even more times a week? This can be done with simple steps. So how will you create your Christian lessons and sermons? No, do not borrow a lesson or a sermon, which you can do from time to time if necessary. Sure, this way you can get something to teach or preach quickly, but will it be relevant to you and your audience? Here are some ideas for how to shape your lesson or sermon.

Steps

1. 1 Follow the scriptures first and be guided by the Holy Spirit for God's purpose in the lives of your audience. Know your audience. Also seek the "anointing" of the heart - study and pray in search of the Holy Spirit: be an enthusiast.
2. 2 Get a clear idea of ​​what you are going to teach. You will never start preaching without direction and purpose if you follow these steps and organize.
3. 3 Plan and sketch on your topic, things you would like to know more about to explain and teach: this does not mean creating a story like in literature or lectures and not even writing an essay, but you should plan as described in the third part of the section diagram.
   • A lesson or sermon is usually better received if it is read without recalling all the material and not even written down in complete sentences; then you won't be able to just read, you will use a meaningful outline, and expand your keywords so that they stand out in the eyes and in the mind, which can be a card to follow. A lesson or sermon is not like a speech or solemn speech that a speaker (for example, a politician) can deliver to an audience.
   • This sermon can be a whole new topic or one in a series of multiple sermons or lessons.
4. 4 Be dynamic, use living phrases without reading, so that the sermon is not sealed in stone, so you can feel more inspired and alive, and make the communication between the teacher / preacher and the class or congregation more inspired.
5. 5 Try not to rely on very detailed notes, but this does not mean that you should speak without a plan or without a diagram.
   • Know the key messages and outline so well that you don't look at it or just throw a casual glance so that you only have keywords that will bring your memory to life, but you should definitely have them open and accessible.
6. 6 Be straightforward; get to the point you want in the message, but how do you do it?
7. 7 Think of a topic as having three simple parts, or a lesson as consisting of three parts. These three parts are given below.

Method 1 of 2: Three-Part Scheme

1. 1 Introduce the subject of your message: tell me what you are going to cover and why and why it is important and how it is relevant.
   • You can give a humorous comment about what this means or not.
   • Use a scripture starting point or event that triggered the main idea.
2. 2 Expand the topic by developing it (expanding it): Give examples and tell me who is participating, where, how, why? Alternatives or what different events can be as well.
   • Since you have given the concept to be developed in the introduction, you and the class or community know what you are talking about and you know how you will reach the conclusion.
   • Build on the main points with examples such as stories, Bible parables, songs, or anything you can tie into the topic.
   • You understand that there may be remarks from the audience on your topic, for example:
     • ’What do you have in mind?’
     • ’How did it happen?’
     • ’What if (name something) happened?’
   • So, having heard such rhetorical questions (those, the answers to which cannot be found in the audience, if it is not a small group), and answer them as follows:
     
     ’What if something happened? Well, then this is something that you or someone can do, because that's all, but then ...."(Fill in the blanks ahead of time) - this way you answered objections or questions to them. If you allow the audience to answer, agree with the answer, but do not discuss, but say," Okay "or something like that, and then direct the answer to the path, which you meant.
3. 3 Draw a conclusion by returning to the action outlined in the topic. Perhaps it will be a call to accept Jesus as Savior. This will put an end to what you have designed and implemented - like the urge to try ideas, pray or study, etc.
   • It's like subscribing to what you have done or taught or preached.

Method 2 of 2: Use some additional resources

1. 1 Rely on other people for advice and all your ideas: no, not literally. It's a good idea to talk to someone about ideas only if you don't talk and visit different people all day long, and avoid studying or preparing well - which won't work very often.
2. 2 Talk to other teachers / preachers for an idea, but it can become a habit, slow you down and become a waste of time for both of you if the two of you have different needs and challenges.
3. 3 Try using different sermon books from old or new sermon books, but modify them to suit your needs.
   • Find sermons online, rewrite them according to your needs.
   • They probably won't be able to fully satisfy your needs if you just pick out the sermon outline, but this is something that isn't particularly inspiring and that you don't want to talk or hear about yourself.
   • They won't be in your style, in your order, or exactly how you feel or speak.
   • Download a collection of sermons or lessons:
   • Materials of some of the great religions of the old days can be found there for free.
   • Consider subscribing to sermons, perhaps in PowerPoint presentations, with pictures and examples — even with a full service order, a list of verses, cross-references, and songs to use.
4. 4 Consider the Bible as a computer program with the Bible, commentary, dictionary, cross-references.
   • Use free Bible sites available for 25 versions and even in different languages: for example and; the two sites are completely free and completely different from each other: see sources and quotes below.
5. 5 Pray and read your Bible daily. Give thanks, take notes, think and contemplate on scripture and you will be in the right mood to reach and receive inspiration.

Tips

• Prepare more than you think you will need, because you can get through this faster than you expected, the material will end sooner than you think.
• What is the title of your sermon? What are the foundations of Scripture? What did Jesus teach? What are the main ideas? What rhetorical questions could you ask the public? Asking questions can help you prepare more thoroughly and think through your ideas. Try to print a couple of pages of good paragraphs on a topic, and if you can only print half a page, change your theme as it turns out to be too flat.
• Read the prayer for "wisdom and revelation" in Ephesians 1:16 for yourself.
• Sometimes you can lose your way in preaching and start pretending that you are teaching or preaching instead of teaching or preaching, or just filling up the time. This can lead to chaos, standing on the podium or in the pulpit unprepared.
  • You will find that you are trying to be an enthusiast to hide the confusion and pretend that you think your lesson or message really matters to you and should matter to others.

Warnings

• Avoid delivering an unreal lesson or sermon: The idea of ​​presenting and developing with one or two Bible verses is usually not enough. The worst sermons are those in which you feel unprepared. You can try substituting emotion for preparation and it will probably turn out badly.
  • That way, you can also sing, pray, shout and walk and maybe you will even jump and jump in the pulpit and shake your Bible if you are not ready, remembering that the spoken word will open your mouth and God will help you. But, be ready next time, and then be open to the Holy Spirit to do the job more thoroughly than you expected.
