TOPICS FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T PREACH THE BIBLE

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

By Ken Blue Many pastors are searching for sermon topics to preach. Since some completely ignore the dispensation they are in, or they are ignorant of it, we will supply a few topics for them. These subjects will not help your people understand right divisions, but they will give them spiritual discernment of other. 1. [...]

THE WATER BOTTLE

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

By Ken Blue It is human to adopt the actions and habits of others; especially when we hold these people in admiration. Not that these practices are wrong, but they are amusing to say the least. Dr. Jack Hyles was plagued with a constant cough when he preached. Preacher boys who followed him unconsciously adopted [...]

FLUFF IS NOT ENOUGH

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

By Ken Blue “Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.” Titus 1:9. The man who knows the least, usually, talks the most and the loudest. This is a cover-up for his insecurity and lack of knowledge [...]

GOOD PREACHING AIN’T GOOD PASTORING

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

By Ken Blue Bible colleges may be turning out good men who can preach, but most of them get an “F” when it comes to producing men who know how to pastor. One of the reasons for this failure is that none of the teachers or professors are pastors themselves; they are only textbook educators. [...]

THE SERMON CONCLUSION

Sunday, July 26th, 2009

THE SERMON CONCLUSION # 5 By Ken Blue There are five parts to the sermon, these are: 1.) The Title, 2.) The Text, 3.) The Introduction, 4.) The Proposition, and 5.) The Conclusion. Although, much could be said about the construction of the sermon; and the preacher should learn all he can to perfect this [...]

COWS AND BUTTER

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

By Ken Blue “I milk a lot of cows, but I make my own butter.” I have no idea who first made that statement, but it has a ring of wisdom to it. None of us are as original as we might think. A man who believes he must be original in every matter is [...]

THE SERMON

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

THE SERMON How to prepare the sermon By Ken Blue Sermons topics fall into dozens of categories, and yet there are pastors who think there is only one right way to prepare and deliver God’s word. Most, who adhere to the “one method only”, teach that the expository sermon is the only Scriptural approach to [...]

THE SERMON TEXT

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

THE SERMON TEXT # 2 By Ken Blue Several fallacies surround the idea that the text determines the sermon. It does not. For example, if you are going to preach a wedding, you already know the occasion and the subject. You now search for a text to support the event. The same is true with [...]

THE SERMON TITLE

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

THE SERMON TITLE # 1 By Ken Blue ‘For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” 1 Corinthians 14:8. In my first article on the sermon, I stated that there are five steps in the construction of the sermon. These are: (1) the title, (2) the text, (3) [...]

GOADS AND NAILS

Monday, March 16th, 2009

GOADS AND NAILS By Ken Blue “And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. 10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. 11 The [...]
