Sermon Delivery
The job of the preacher may be multi-faceted, but the one thing people expect their preacher to do is preach.
There are some who would say that preaching should never change, that it should be done exactly the same way that it was done 200 years ago. The problem with that is that people don’t listen the same way they did 200 years ago. We have the advent of television and computers to thank for that, but it remains true, nevertheless. Today, people are visual learners, for the most part, therefore, visual aids are important. After all, the goal of preaching is not merely to impart information, it is to impact the hearers with a message in such a way that it will go home with them, and they will remember it long after it’s been delivered.
Many churches are now using drama, video, and object lessons to get the point across. Jesus told stories, which was a pretty radical thing in His day.
