4 Minutes on “Preparing a Sermon”

Jan 23, 2012 Print This Post

People often ask me how I go about preparing a sermon. Here’s a 4 minute video that follows along the two week process it took to develop the message I preached last week. I knew the passage I was going to preach a year ago, so a lot of reading, thought, study, and prayer preceded the start of this final stage of preparation.

Growing up in the Lansing area, I wanted nothing more than to get out. My exit strategy included a complex mixture of schemes for an urban church plant, iProducts, and an elaborate Bollywood car chase scene with zombies and catchy techno music.

As a 40 year old man, I find myself entrenched in the Lansing area at a church I love (Riverview), with 4 kids I love more (a high schooler, a junior higher, a middle schooler, and an elementary schooler), and a wife I love the most (Grace).

Instead of planting one church, I dream of helping hundreds get started without ever leaving my home base. I still love my iProducts and use them as tools to help lead and teach the thousands who attend Riverview. And when no one is looking, I blare the techno music and send my unimpressive resume to casting agents for Bollywood zombie films.
