Every thoughtful preacher gives painstaking care to the plan of his sermon, whether it be held in the mind or placed in written form. However, unless the sermon is worked out into a written outline before it is given in the desk, there is a tendency toward careless preparation, which soon degenerates into wandering, pointless preaching.
Materials for Preaching
An abundance of suitable material is essential to successful preaching. How carefully the preacher should weigh the texts, the arguments, the illustrations, the applications, that go to make up the sermon upon which depends the salvation of souls!
