Sermon Building Simulator — Hey Moses

The preacher’s workbench. A text is set before you — read it whole — and then you build its sermon stage by stage: its burden, its proposition, its opening, its points and the verse that carries each one, its illustration, its application, and its conclusion. At the higher rungs the near-misses press closer, and points that preach outside the set text try to slip into your outline — keep them out. When the last stage stands, the whole sermon stands assembled before you. “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” — 2 Timothy 2:15
