Pastor, you may think today that your ministry of the Word yesterday didn’t amount to much, but what you did was an act of worship. By faith, rest in that truth today.
The highest form of worship is the preaching of God’s Word.

Pastor, Get Ready to Preach Next Sunday!
No sermon is ready for preaching, not ready for writing out, until we can express its theme in a short, pregnant sentence clear as a crystal.
Attend a Gospel-preaching Church This Weekend
The spiritual life of any congregation and its growth in grace will never exceed the high-water mark set by its pulpit.

What Did They Come to Hear from You Yesterday, Pastor?
If any here do expect fine preaching from me this day, they will, in all probability, go away disappointed. For I came not here to shoot over people’s heads; but, if the Lord shall be pleased to bless me, to reach their hearts.

What Motivates Your Ministry?
Pastor, my prayer for you today is that you will have grace for the successes or failures of yesterday so that you may continue this week by grace, doing the impossible ministry God called you to do.
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.

Finding Beauty in the Preaching of God’s Word
Nothing is more beautiful in the eyes of God than a soul that loves to hear His Word.

Spirit-filled Preaching
Ministers are like trumpets, which make no sound if breath be not breathed into them. Or like Ezekiel’s wheels, which move not unless the Spirit move them. Or like Elisha’s servants whose presence does no good unless Elisha’s spirit be there also.
Your Sermon Was Only Half as Good as You Think
Thank you for your patience while I took a break during a time of weakness at the beginning of the holiday season. Please pray for my family!
Here is a quote I forget until I’m done preaching on Sunday, and then I’m glad its true after I’m done. It reminds me of something one of my seminary professors said (to the following effect): “You’re half as good as you think you are, but twice as good as your critics say you are.”
“Do not imagine when you hear a sermon being made useful, that it was the sermon itself that did the work.”

What We Do When We Preach
The object of all true preaching is the heart: we aim at divorcing the heart from sin, and wedding it to Christ.

Bathing Our Preaching in Prayer
Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, broadens & strengthens the mind. The prayer closet is a perfect schoolteacher for the preacher.
