A Guide to Preaching - Episode 12: "Go Preach The Word"

Part One: The Art of Delivery

Introduction:
Welcome to another episode of "A Guide to Preaching." Today, we unravel the intricate art of sermon delivery. Preparing a sermon is akin to the gestation period of a fetus, but the delivery is the birth, a moment that can either captivate or repel. How can speakers ensure their message is not only heard but truly appeals to the senses?

The Setting:
The effectiveness of a message is intricately tied to its delivery setting.

1. Sound:
   • Audibility is paramount, especially for larger audiences.
   • A functional PA system ensures everyone can hear.
2. Sight:
   • Visibility matters; the audience should see the speaker's face.
   • Optimal podium placement enhances visual connection.

The Speaker: Non-Verbal Communication:
The power of non-verbal communication is profound and recognized in Scripture.

1. Body Language:
   • Albert Mehrabian highlights that only 7 percent of impact comes from words.
   • Gestures, facial expressions, and body language play a significant role.
   • Meaningful movement can enhance the message.
2. Eye Contact:
   • Eye contact builds trust and engagement.
   • Connect with individuals in the audience; avoid staring at notes or gazing aimlessly.

Verbal Communication:
Variety in verbal expression is crucial for a compelling delivery.

1. Variety in Voice:
   • Emphasize with changes in volume, pitch, and rate.
   • God used a still small voice (1 Kings 19:12), emphasizing the impact of variety.
2. Pauses:
   • Pauses serve as punctuation in speech.
   • Well-timed pauses increase suspense and convey deep emotion effectively.

Summary:
A well-delivered message combines effective body language and varied verbal communication in a conducive setting that engages the audience's senses.

Part Two: Go Preach the Word

God's Command:
God's directive is clear: "Preach the Word." To accomplish this effectively, follow these ten steps:

1. Discover the Biblical Summary Statement:
   • Craft messages rooted in Biblical truth.
2. Diagnose the Audience:
   • Understand your audience for effective communication.
3. Decide on a Message Summary Statement:
   • Clarity is key; shape your message statement to fit your audience.
4. Determine the Development:
   • A well-structured message is easy for people to follow.
5. Designate the Support Material:
   • Keep the audience's attention with relevant support material.
