Here we see that when Jesus opened the Scriptures, it was memorable and moving to His listeners. They found His teaching so compelling that they told others all about it! In the same way, we want our preaching to be memorable and move others to action.
What do you think it will take for the sermon you are preparing to be compelling to your listeners? Preaching is both a human and sacred endeavor.
Consider the following as you reflect on this week’s devotional:
- Of the things that are your responsibility (finding good illustrations, for instance), what would make the biggest difference to the sermon you are preparing?
- Looking beyond your responsibility to the things that only God can do, what do you need to be praying for as you finish preparing this sermon?
