First, ask yourself what the main point of your sermon is. What do you want your congregation to take away from your message? This is the most important question you can ask because it will help you focus your thoughts and ensure that everything you say supports the main point of your sermon.

Second, ask yourself who your sermon is for. Who are you preaching to? Is it men, women, children, families, or a specific group within your congregation? Knowing your audience will help you tailor your message to their needs and ensure that they can relate to what you’re saying.

Third, ask yourself what the theme of your sermon is. What is the overall theme or subject of your message? This will help you focus your thoughts and ensure that your sermon flows well.

Fourth, ask yourself what stories or illustrations you can use to support your message. Stories and illustrations are a great way to engage your congregation and make your point more clearly. Choose ones that are relevant to your theme and audience.

Fifth, ask yourself what action you want your congregation to take after the sermon. What do you want them to do differently in their lives? This is an important question because it will help you ensure that your sermon is practical and not just theoretical.

Final Thoughts

Asking these five questions before you deliver your sermon will help you focus on the most important aspects of your message. Take the time to ask them before you take the stage, and you’ll be sure to deliver an effective sermon!
