A Note from Denn...
After spending
27 years in the preaching ministry, I realize that the
average person sitting in the pews of our churches has no idea about
the amount of work that goes into a sermon. I'm sure that many people
suspect a message is simply thrown together an hour before the service.
Hopefully it isn't.
I hope my
sermons will help percolate the creative process in your
sermon preparation. I remember the frustration of my early years in the
ministry when inspiration seemed to remain just out of reach. If you
have to preach one of these sermons verbatim, remember your wife's name
is not Angela, your children are not Stephen and Deborah, and you
probably never worked as a fisherman on Canada's east coast. Other than
that that, God bless and good luck.
