#132 | My Complicated Relationship With Sermon Manuscripts
About this episode
Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better.
In this episode, I want to talk to you about my complicated relationship with sermon manuscripts. At this point, I am a conflicted manuscript preacher. I write a full sermon manuscript each week. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I have taken the manuscript to the pulpit. On one hand, I feel like preaching from a sermon manuscript is helping my preaching. At the same time, there are ways In which I feel the manuscript hinders my preaching.
What is my current view of preaching from sermon manuscripts?
- Biblical Accuracy
- Message Clarity
- Balanced Preaching
- Sermon Length
- Pulpit Liberty
- Sermon Archives
- Ministerial Development
Book Recommendations:
- Preaching by Timothy J. Keller
- From Embers to a Flame by Harry L. Reeder
