1 Point Preacher
Episode 15

Show Notes:

What distinguishes 1 point preaching: a sermon with 1 point. One big idea, one primary truth that is applied to the congregation.

Follows from basic hermeneutics: a text has one meaning. A text, no matter the size, can be summarized with a statement—one idea.
Consistently, we should preach it that way.

There are many applications. Choose one for applying the text to the congregation.

1 Point Preaching is simply that method of preaching that is consistent with sound hermeneutics (biblical interpretation).

Sermon point: the big idea of the text is what is applied to the listeners.
The exegetical point, the truth of the text.
And an application (contextualization).

There is no preaching without application, so you can't just have the point of the text—or a sermon title.

The sermon point itself is preaching—the truth of the text applied to people.

This is foreign to most people.
What's common is a sermon title.
But look for the application—call to obedience, call to action.

Preaching is applying the biblical text to people.

A common difficulty: preachers reading an essay, even with a single sermon point. It's the structure—many main points and subpoints.
Talking about 5 or 7 topics.

Typical outline compared to a sequential outline:

The difference is movement. Progressive steps toward the sermon point.

The sermon point is announced in the introduction. The congregation knows the destination.

Not all texts are the same. Sometimes, the point of the text comes early. What do you do? Teach the text as is, whether narrative or epistle. Teach God's point.

The point of the text must be taught by the one preaching.

Teaching is explaining, preaching is proclamation.

In proving the point, the reasoning must come from God's Word.

The point of the text can be lengthy. In the sermon point, it's either the exact phrasing, or reflecting the point of the text. Because the sermon point needs to be concise, to be remembered by the listeners.

As much as possible, use the language of the text itself. That anchors it in the sermon text.

This is the most effective way of preaching, because it is accurately delivering the meaning of the text of Scripture and applying it to people.
