Sermons Preached by Guest Preachers
I like to preach through a series. I usually preach through a book of the Bible or a section of a book. This method has several advantages. First, preparing a sermon requires a great deal of background work. By preaching through a book, that work pays off for the entire series. Second, all denominations and preachers have topics they teach regularly as well as ones they don't, either out of ignorance or dislike of those subjects. I manage to fit in my pet themes, but preaching through a text makes me deal with issues that are outside my expertise, as well as ones that make me uncomfortable. This has stretched and developed me, and likewise the congregation. Third, by preaching exegetically (working through the particulars of a passage) a preacher does not need to be all that talented. The Word of God is powerful, so the more my sermons reflect the plain meaning of the Scriptures, the more effect they will have on the hearers. The Scriptures change people, not talented preachers.
