Hello Church!

Do you use commentaries when you write your sermons?

If not, should you? The Bible is the foundation for every sermon we write, but secondary resources can be incredibly valuable in helping us understand it. After all, the Bible is thousands of years old. By virtue of the Spirit, it was penned by dozens of authors to a variety of audiences in completely different cultures, not to mention translated from other languages!

When’s the last time you preached on the book of Ezekiel? Maybe never, right? You may have taught from other Old Testament books, but data shows that there’s a “New Testament favoritism” among American churches. We tend to feel like the New Testament is easier to understand and apply than the Old… but neglecting the deep context of God’s Word can put us at risk.  -- To stay connected with us, follow Ministry Pass https://instagram.com/ministrypass and Sermonary https://instagram.com/sermonary.

Do you control your meetings, or do your meetings control you? Meetings tend to multiply. They can take over your schedule — and worse, they can derail fast. Before you know it, your countless meetings become unproductive, last too long, and leave you with more work to do (and less time to do it!). But don’t worry: There are effective ways to control the chaos.

We have something REALLY special to share with you today. 

As a pastor, you aren’t just preaching. You’re speaking at baby dedications, weddings, and funerals; you’re prepping for important seasons like Easter and Christmas; you’re trying to put together a team and wrangle volunteers. You could use resources for your preaching ministry to give you guidance and frameworks to navigate all of these successfully.

 Do you feel like your preaching doesn’t “work” over video?

Preaching to in-person and online audiences at the same time is trickier than it sounds. When you preach to an in-person group, you can improvise based on your momentum and how the audience is responding. But these tactics don’t work as well — and can come off as awkward — when you can’t see the other half of the crowd.

“Does THIS make me a bad pastor?” We get this question all the time. One variety in particular is whether you’re “suppressing the Holy Spirit” by being a planner. Of course you want to preach the message that God gives you… so does that mean you can’t organize your sermon calendar ahead of time?
