Ken Blue Ministries

            By Ken Blue Sometimes we confuse ourselves with the importance of the message. It is the message that is all important. I have seen men who were more in love with the telling of the thing, than they are with the thing they tell. One young man prayed just [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

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.

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 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 # 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 # 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) [...]
