Pointers To Coming Up With Perfect Spiritual Sermons For Your Congregation

By Donna Morgan


A pastor or a religious leader has many responsibilities, for example, preaching, praying for the congregation, among other duties. The main responsibility of a religious leader is to provide divine guidance to people through preaching. Many assume that coming up or preparing a good sermon is an easy task. This is often not the case; most preachers find this process very hectic and tedious. This article gives a guideline on how to come up with perfect Spiritual Sermons for your congregation.

God speaks to people through preachers and missionaries. Thus, the first thing you need to do when preparing what to preach is to spend time in prayer. Prayers will help you connect with God, and you will get inspiration on what to share with your congregation. Pray for guidance and ask God to speak through you.

Reading the bible is important before you preach. Remember that you will be preaching using the bible, so you need to avoid misquoting the bible by reading it carefully. You should read several Bible versions and not one. Different translators translated the different versions of the Bible, so reading a number of the versions will enable you to understand the bible well. Also, some of the translators omit some verses, so reading a number of the versions will enable you to identify such verses.

When you are preparing a sermon, you need to have your audience in mind. What problems do they have, what environment are they leaving in, and what are their inspirations. You want to offer a Godly solution to the people who are listening to you. So, take time to evaluate your crowd and try to create a sermon that speaks to each one of them. Since you may not know the problems and the life of all your guests, you should also communicate with the Holy Spirit so that He may allow you to know the people you will be preaching to.

When delivering the sermon, you need to have points which will guide you. In that way, your sermon will be orderly, and you will minister to many people. Your audience will also understand your sermon if you prepare it in an orderly manner. A poorly prepared sermon may end up not having an impact on the people.

Share the sermon with someone before you preach to the congregation. This person should listen and critic the sermon. This helps to analyze your homily at a different point of view. By doing this, you get helpful insights that will improve your homily by either adding some information that you might have omitted or removing controversial information that might confuse your congregation.

Work on your preaching method. A good homily may be overshadowed by poor preaching skills. A preacher should deliver the sermon in a way that interests and captivates the people. Good preachers use dramatic effects to ensure that the delivery is perfect. These skills take time to learn; therefore, practice more to become perfect. Do a brief preaching in front of a mirror to boost your confidence.

Research on topics you intend to address; read ideas and thoughts of other preachers on those topics so as to get more informed. A good sermon is the one that adds value to the spirituality of your congregation. Strive to make your people understand God, believe in him, and live a Godly life. Ensure that you preach about love, peace, and forgiveness. Encourage your listeners to have faith in God and spread the gospel.
