Mode of Delivery

  • Message is more important
  • There is no one right way to deliver a sermon
  • Try to improve your style of delivery
  • Vary your volume and speed
  • Start slow, speak low.
  • Catch fire, go higher.

II. Modes of Delivery
  • Reading
  • Jonathan Edwards
  • Peter Marshall
  • Definition Use a complete manuscript and simply
    read it.

IV. Gaps to Bridge
  • A. Language Gap
  • The Bible was originally written in Hebrew,
    Greek and Aramaic. A good Bible dictionary is
    very important.
  • B. Cultural Gap
  • We need to understand the culture of the time.
    Bible Handbooks are helpful here.
  • C. Geography Gap
  • Knowing the geography makes the Bible come
    alive. A Bible Atlas is an important tool.
  • D. History Gap
  • A good understanding of history certainly helps
    us to understand the Bible. There are many
    history books available.
