When you prepare a sermon…

Have you ever studied a passage and discovered so much information that you struggled to decide what to include in your message?

Not everything you learn during preparation needs to be preached.

Some discoveries deepen your understanding of the text, while others are essential to communicating its central message.

The challenge isn't always finding more to say. Sometimes it's knowing what needs to be said.

When you prepare a sermon…

It’s easy to jump from what you see on the page to what you think it means. But there’s important work to do after observation.

It’s not enough to recognize what we see in the text. We must investigate why it matters and what the author intended to communicate in its original context before we can faithfully proclaim its meaning for us today.

So, what is the work that takes us from observation to interpretation?

That’s where intentional sermon preparation makes the difference. www.askp3coaching.org/about-2

When you’re preparing your next sermon, begin by noticing the words, patterns, and movement of the passage. That careful observation helps you discover the text’s central idea and shape a sermon that grows from it.

That’s where we begin in the P3 Sermon Prep Intensive- We Probe (Observe the text). Slow down, take time to see before you say. Seeing is more than recalling what you heard about the text, it’s more than checking a few words. Take time to see what is there first. Simply observe….

When you’re preparing your next sermon, can you explain how your main idea connects to the passage? It may mean the difference between preaching that honors the text and it's original intent and that which does not.

Discovering the text’s central idea gives your sermon direction. It helps you decide what to emphasize, how to organize your message, and which applications the passage supports.

In the P3 Sermon Prep Intensive, we practice discovering that idea and using it to shape your sermon. Message me P3 for details about the next Intensive.

P3 Sermon Prep Framework™
Session 1 - Observation gathers information.
Session 2 - Investigation gathers the evidence.
Session 3 - Interpretation discovers the meaning.
Session 4 - Application calls for response.

Why the Order Matters
• If I skip observation, my investigation may be based on assumptions.
• If my investigation is incomplete, my application may be inaccurate.
• When I follow the whole process, I am much more likely to preach a message that honors God, honors the text, and blesses the people listening.

Can you be honest with yourself and acknowledge when you could use some help?

Some of us were never taught how to approach a scripture as we prepare a sermon. Others of us never went to seminary or took a preaching class. This 4-day intensive gives you specific steps to take in sermon preparation so that each time you have a system to follow as you work through the week to prepare for Sunday!

Here is why you would attend: Which benefit do you need most!
