1 Point Preacher
Episode 9

Show Notes:

References are no longer references when there is explanation and application.

It's even worse when it's done within the book being preached through consecutively.

Example: preaching through a gospel narrative. The preacher jumps ahead in the story and makes a reference further along. But also explains, and even makes explanation from that reference.
That is preaching a future sermon text.
When you get there, what will you say? Skip it? Repeat what you said?

Preaching a supporting verse is one thing. Preaching a future sermon text is another.

Why is this done?

• Lack of confidence in the sermon text, because a lack of mastery.
• Because of a word. Simple word association, but no real connection according to context.
• Lack of confidence in God. God didn't fail in his inspiration of the text. Know that text first, to determine how many supporting verse could help.

Example: regardless of how proficient a driver you are, not everyone around you is. Other factors prompt you to slow down.
With a text, as you know it better, you adjust your pace. If you slow down and take more time, cross references will be the first to be cut out. They are expendable.

Another problem: the 15–20 minute recap.
Talking about the previous sermon or 3, with application. It's re-preaching. In the worst case, 30 minutes could be spent preaching a previous sermon text.

Lack of flexibility: needing to include all cross references in the sermon manuscript, and preaching for an hour and 10 minutes.

One more:

• Text selection mistake. The preacher did not consider carefully enough his sermon text, and realizes he needs more material. He chose 1 or 2 verses, because of popular expository preachers, but failed to consider his own gifts.

To have too small a sermon text and add many other Scripture texts is to preach topically.
