Ancient Text

Uncovering the Author’s Intent through the Genre

Every biblical passage was inspired by the Holy Spirit and delivered through a human author with a specific purpose, shaped by literary form. In this step, we dig deep into the text—its structure, context, and genre—to discover the author's original idea. When we deal with a narrative, we look at the story arc to grasp the tension and the lesson behind the story. As Dr. Kent Edwards teaches, “The meaning of the text is the message of the author.” This step anchors the sermon in Scripture’s authority by uncovering what the Spirit intended to say through the author to the original audience.

Contemporary Idea

Translating the Truth to Transform Today

Once the biblical idea is clear, we bridge the timeless truth into the lives of our listeners. Preaching isn’t just transferring information—it’s about transformation. This step answers: What does this truth look like in today’s world? How does this call people to follow Jesus more faithfully? Rooted in relevance, this process allows the ancient Word to speak powerfully into the present moment of everyday life.

Holy Spirit Driven

Preparing the Messenger, Not Just the Message

Biblical preaching is more than exegesis and application—it’s a spiritual act. Here, through prayer and personal reflection, the preacher allows the Spirit to first apply the message to their own heart. As Dr. Edwards puts it, “God doesn’t just want to change your audience—He wants to change you.” This final step ensures the sermon is not only accurate and relevant, but anointed—delivered with authenticity, conviction, and power.

Preach with clarity, depth, and power week after week

If you're looking to grow as a preacher or want help crafting sermons that are biblically faithful and spiritually impactful, let's connect. I’ve been in ministry for over 17 years and planted my own church from the ground up. I hold a Master of Divinity in Spiritual Formation from Talbot and am currently a preaching apprentice with Crosstalk Global, where I’m refining the art and heart of transformational preaching. Most importantly, I oversee the teaching team at Friends Church, a multi-campus church across seven locations, where I weekly serve our communicators to help biblical truth and the Gospel take root in real lives. Whether you're just starting out or want to sharpen your preaching, I’d love to help.
