#131 | The Ministry of Application

About this episode

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

In this episode, H.B. talks about the ministry of application. A biblical sermon should consist of explanation, illustration, and application. 

We are prone to skip over application, or do it wrong. It is critical that preachers take application seriously and work to do it effectively. 

How can I practice the ministry of application effectively? 

  1. Apply the text.
  2. Pray for wisdom. 
  3. Know your audience. 
  4. Make pastoral applications. 
  5. Ask probinh questions.
  6. Craft your application. 
  7. Illustrate for application. 
  8. Address different categories. 
  9. Apply throughout the sermon. 
  10. Trust the Holy Spirit.
