Wordsmithing Statements
I’d love help wordsmithing these PPGR statements or getting feedback on them. I don’t love the Gospel one but I can’t think of a way to change it. Passage Hebrews 11:32-40. Key word Eternity Principal: faith enables people to view present circumstances in light of eternity Problem: when trials come we lose sight of eternity and seek temporary relief Gospel: Jesus purchased and redeemed his people so that they will receive eternity promised Response: with the guarantee of eternity we persist with faith regardless of circumstances

Thanks for the help everyone. Here is what I went with. I had shorter statements for the screen and for people to make notes but then reiterated the longer point. Principle – Faith Sees Life In Light Of Eternity: Faith Enables People To View Present Circumstances In Light of the Promise of Eternity. Problem – Triumphs And Trials Take Our Focus Off Eternity: When Triumphs and Trials Come We Lose Sight of Eternity and Live According to the Flesh. Gospel – Jesus’s Work On The Cross Guarantees Eternity: Jesus’s Work on the Cross Guarantees We Will Receive Eternity Promised. Response – The Guarantee of Eternity Shapes Our Living: We Get To Live In Light of Eternity, Persisting in the Faith Regardless of Circumstances.
Lessons Learned
I'd love to hear what you've been learning lately. - PPGR lessons? - Delivery lessons? - Workflow lessons?

I used the essentials to input my basic content and then walked through it in the Sermon Studio. I feel like it helped me refine my ideas more and be more clear. I had already done all my work but having the studio prompt me with the questions was very helpful this past Sunday. Still processing how to integrate the PPGR with my previous learning, experience, personality, and perspectives.

@McKay Caston totally! I told a friend it feels like when you get a hitting coach or someone to help you improve your golf swing and then they go and tell you to change one aspect of your swing. It feels very unnatural at first because you've developed a particular habit.
Keyword or Phrases
Curious how others handle this. For my statements this Sunday I’ve got “fulfillment of his promises” in all 4. I’m curious if you guys try to avoid having phrases in all the statements or keep them if they come naturally? Do you think “key phrases” aids or hinders homiletic clarity or retention when compared to using only a keyword?

@McKay Caston I went with these. First ones are the statements I put on the screen and the second are the fuller versions. Principle: The Life Of Faith Lives In Light of His Promises. The life of faith that pleases God looks forward to the fulfillment of His promises. Problem: We Don’t Always Live In Light of His Promises. When we encounter delays in the fulfillment of His promises we question and go our own way. Gospel: The Son Always Lived In Light of the Promises. Another Father gave his only son so we can experience the fulfillment of His promises. Response: We Are Enabled To Live In Light of the Promises. The Fulfillment of His promises enables us to live by faith even when we experience delays.

@McKay Caston totally!!!
Statement Length and Clarity
Curious how you all would lean on this. Do you tend to value brevity or clarity in your PPGR statements? My Problem statement for tomorrow is “the hardships and duration of the journey can cause us to question if enduring is worth it”. I could shorten it by saying “the journey can cause us to question if enduring is worth it.” Which way do you tend to lean if you have to pick?

@Scott Nichols well yes, that would be the preference. Sometimes we have to pick though, right?

@Mark Acsay that's great!
Thoughts on Handling Longer Readings
I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on how you handle reading longer texts in your church services and sermons. I typically prefer to read all the text at once but as I’m thinking through our Christmas series this year I’m wondering if breaking up texts in the middle of the sermon, or even have it read entirely by another person would be beneficial. What’s everyone’s practice and preference? How can we help our people best hear and receive God’s word around this?

@Adin Husu that's what I'm thinking! I've been hesitant to embrace having people standing for the reading of the primary text because my logical thinking goes "why don't we stand for every time we read God's word" throughout the sermon and the service. But if we distinguish it for just the primary text reading and have it distinct it can aid in a lot of ways.
