3 point sermon guy here. I will preach my first ppgr sermon on April 12, and I am excited! Pray for me.

I used something last night I learned from yesterday's delivery skills presentation. Using my hands in the way the congregation sees the movement. I used it on my "change" sentence. I identified the problem, how Christ is the solution, then how it produces the change as the result. I am not sure if anyone there noticed, but I have gone back to a few of my sermons and noticed I have never considered how the congregation sees my hand movements.

An elder commented to me recently. I learn more from bible studies than sermons. He told me not to take it personally. On reflection I think this is right. We want people to learn things but we should want heart change to be the primary purpose. If they can remember stuff, brilliant, but that's a secondary outcome. I wonder therefore do we need to change what people expect to happen when listening. You don't primarily come to learn (but I hope you do). You come to be changed. Bible study however as thoughts are proposed and discussed should lead to more learning. What do you think?

What do you use in the pulpit for notes? iPad? Paper? Handwritten? Typed? Full manuscript? Bullets? Why did you land there? What else have you tried? Why does your preferred method work for you? Can't wait to hear!
