#165 | The Objectives of the Sermon

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you to preach faithfully, clearly, and better. 

In this episode, H.B. discusses the objectives of the sermon. 

What is the difference between teaching and preaching? A sermon is characterized by proclamation, purpose, and persuasion. 

Regarding persuasion, you should consider three objectives as you craft your sermon... 

1. What should the hearer think? (The Message of the Text) 
2. What should the hearer feel? (The Mood of the Text) 
3. What should the hearer do? (The Mandate of the Text)
