- How Do I Preach?
Read on to find out more on how to preach without using notes and how to Preach with Conviction!
- The best way to preach, is by conviction, from the heart, in your own words, just testifying to what you actually believe, whenever somebody asks you. That is how to preach with conviction…..
- Sermons send people to sleep, they are at best, second hand opinion, and at worst, only words.
- Testimony is vital and believable – Why? – because it is what we have seen and believe, and therefore the conviction of truth can be heard in our voice. When we relate what happened to us, people can believe that as fact. When you share some truth of which the Holy Spirit has convicted you, you will be believed because the conviction will ring in your voice! This is the evidence of the holy Spirit. That is How to Preach with Conviction.
So, How Do I Do That?
- If you have no set requirement for the theme of the day, then grab your Bible, and head for your quiet place and just ‘wait on Him’ until you are told [how to pray] what to do.
- If you are working to a set theme, like lectionary readings, just go into your quiet place with your Bible and start ‘meditating’ those readings. As you read a verse or a phrase, close your eyes and let the Holy Spirit of God illuminate it to your understanding.
- Follow each ‘train of thought’ thru to its end and the subject matter will be filled out and explained.
- Just keep doing this until you feel there is no more to be understood. It may take several sessions of quiet to get the whole message. Strive for Spiritual Excellence!
- Stop thinking about it and go on with your usual weeks activities until you feel to do it again.
- Come Sunday Morning; you stand up and relate your subject matter as you are led so to do. I find that it seems to come out in the same order it went in. I.E. The first major point revealed comes first, and then the second point, and so on….
- How to Preach without Notes. The above method works well for me – it just blows me away that I always get to the end of what I want to say at exactly the time the service is scheduled to end – Hallelujah!
There it is – you just learned How to Preach!

(As below also) I agree preaching is more about involving others through sharing the Gospel just like Jesus did when he sat down and shared and broke bread. I understand Paul the Apostle was “rude in speech” but the Words he spoke came from a depth of great Faith in Christ and hence the power

I try not to ‘tell God what to do’ – like I just ask for blessing for a person in need, but never specify what that blessing would be. Our perception of another persons need must always be from incomplete and partial knowledge. We seek His widom, just as in finding out How to Preach. [...]

[...] If you are going to preach anything in this world, this has to be your number one topic: Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have no other valid message if we don’t preach this Gospel. The good news of Jesus’ life and resurection is the fundamental tenet that we hang all our teaching on. It is the root of our testimony; the whole basis of all Christian outreach; and the essential ingredient in How to Preach. [...]
