Before the end of June 2010, four sermon-outlines for the Sundays in July will be posted in this corner. If you want to avail of these outlines, just be part of my followers.

The Word of God will remain chained in the pages of the Holy
Scriptures until such time that an effective preacher/teacher unleashes it through preaching/teaching. The Word of God must touch lives and move people to do what God requires. It must not go back to God empty but accomplish that which it is purposed.

Homiletics defined

Homiletics is the art of communicating/preaching the Word of God. Preaching is not just an act of communicating without consideration of the secret of effective techniques of persuasions in the process of delivery. A pastor once told me that he has been preaching God's Word for ten years but never is he conscious of any art of communication. As long as he is able to expound the text, making it plain and simple to his listeners, to him that is preaching. But consider this:

Professional chefs, using the same ingredients, cook with distinctive quality. Skilled sculptors, working on the same material, curve unique figures. Likewise, excellent preachers, using the same biblical text, communicate with exceptional charm.

In this corner, we will be discussing the secret of effective communication focused on preaching the Word of God, which is called Homiletics. Watch for the opening discussion.
