Sharpening and Shaping Your Sermon

Preaching follows a biblical mandate as part of God’s plan to communicate His love for humanity. It is much more than a public presentation intended to display the abilities of the preacher or please the senses of the audience. It is a sacred tradition meant to communicate a message from God’s Word to His people and one that places great responsibility on the human communicator. To help inspire those who may be tasked with this endeavor, pastors and doctors Mervyn A. Warren and Benjamin F. Reaves are uniquely qualified to provide focused advice on the major areas of sermon content and preparation as professors of preaching with more than four decades of experience in the classroom and the pulpit of famed Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama.
