You’re called to be a faithful and effective communicator of God’s Word. But what exactly are the core principles of a “biblical sermon”? Is there a model for us to follow? Or did God leave it up to us—his gospel ambassadors—to figure it out as we go?

Reinvigorate Your Preaching

It turns out that God did include a blueprint to guide us within the canon of Scripture—the Book of Hebrews. The Model Sermon will not only help you master the major preaching principles found in Hebrews—itself a sermon—but also offers practical steps to immediately apply each to your preaching.

Essential Principles

You'll get a better grasp on the marks of a good sermon, down-to-earth ways to bolster your preaching, and inspiration to keep lifting up the person and work of Jesus Christ!

15 principles as a model for preaching today:

  • Getting out of the way
  • Showing them Jesus
  • Identifying with your people
  • Trusting the Holy Spirit
  • Making an appeal
  • And more
