How do you prepare your sermons?

[@Rebecca-zr3lu]

God, thank you for deliverance from evilness and from wickedness. Thank you for travel safety and thank you for stylish travel. Thank you for helping us get all of our things together in the romance department, the brotherly love department, and the agape love department. I pray that you shower that kind of love down on all of your creation and on me God In Jesus mighty name. Amen 🙏 🤍

I love his passion. I love how he moves. He feels in his body what is going on his spirit.

[@youthdirectorluke]

I love the method- I do something similar- BUT he starts it on FRIDAY! This man continues to blow my mind.

[@Seraphim-Hamilton]

C.S. Lewis in Screwtape Letters talks about the real use of pleasure and their complete opposition to anything evil. Pleasure, in itself, is a gift from God, meant to bring joy to the human creature as exactly what it is, provoking genuine, humble, thanksgiving to God. I don't know why, but the way he mentions where he goes to lunch, of all things, at 3:35 and shortly afterwards really strikes me. It's just such a simple delight in a pleasure God has given, completely innocent, and brings obvious joy to his face as exactly what it is. Not something to be hoarded, worshiped, or treasured above all things, but one of the many little gifts God hands out to his children. For some reason, the smile he gives there really moves me and says that I should be like this person and think like this person.

thank you Lord for our brother piper and the many sermons you have used him to preach your word of truth

[@FrontierCastings]

Wear your armor not my armor -John Piper

[@PatriceDEvans]

That sounds like how I work well. I’m gonna try it. It’s very creative and Spirit led. You’d have to truly be called to preach to do it that way. 🙏🏽😊. Thank you brother.

[@k1111117]

whats so crazy is that I can totally relate to all Dr. Piper says here. Love you sir and am praying for your time with your family!!!

[@rosematt3850]

I love our Lord ! I would love to spread his word . learning how to prepare a sermon

[@bernadettetungul4490]

You are indeed unique John Piper. ❤ I so love your passion for the Lord!

[@thelaserchick1]

Love it! Wear your armor Not my Armor..that's what it's all about God is in control..

[@gregorybedner]

Love this my problem is feeling like I am leaving stuff out! I want to exegete without it becoming a 2 hour Bible study! I struggle with balance feeling like I am either too teachy or too applicationy lol

[@rodrigolicera4427]

If I'd wait till Friday I'll b dying of anxiety....lol ... great servant of the Lord

[@eduardopipinel]

A brianstorming with God LOL! I do almost the same thing. It seens so caotic but at the end, if you're in praying, the Spirit makes sense of it.

[@Tinawise12]

Just found this and it is helpful!! I am preparing to teach on particular texts and I love these points.

[@seanruss]

Wear your armor, not my armor. I love it. Wise words.

[@samuelravelo9636]

After studying the text, I ask the Lord, "Speak to my life through this text." If the text doesn't speak to me first, it may be hard to convey the any message to the congregation.

[@TheSeth011]

Piper and I almost are similar. The only difference is that I start way, way earlier than on Friday. I study very, very deep like Piper, though. Pray extensively over, and over, and over. Begging God for insight, thanking Him for what He has done and what He will do in my life while I study His Word. Then again, that's just me. God made me specifically for His work, I know that much. lol

[@DeeRose]

Loooove his personality... His description....

[@K1370]

love him :) Thank you God for sending a great teacher to us :D

[@the_undersea_astronauts]

wow the idea of starting to prep on Friday stresses me out haha. im very grateful for your ministry!! keep preaching the Word to the glory of Christ!

[@natashakirilyuk6014]

Incredible! Praise God 🙏

[@thberger61794]

Love this as Im striving to develop better sermons

[@loveworldarabic6468]

i can identify with him, the Holy Spirit never seems to amaze me....

[@derekchildress5]

A resounding Amen!

"Do neither as I do, nor as I say" -John Piper

[@cabalterajulieannek.7318]

Thank you for sharing ❤️

[@BloodCovenant]

Thanks, Pastor. I've been waiting on this:)

[@msafirimhehe]

Amen... So Lovely idea! That truly works... Thank you

[@donation1913]

That process is taught as 'Brain Storming'. I was taught this method of creative writing in High School. A central Idea or theme and write as many thoughts as you have surrounding this idea or theme, first impressions are the best.

[@markwhite2687]

I love it! LOL. Thank you for sharing

[@luisv8887]

If we can't or don't want to prepare like John Piper, at least one very important component shall we use, and that is prayer while preparing. Most important thing. Without prayer we're nothing

[@ashin.philip]

This was inspiring :) Thankyou.

[@cpmower]

i don't know how he does it. Any time I have preached I start on Monday..haha

[@meandu4ever777]

WoW I figure I was the only one that went about it like that lol. Now that's funny God bless you brother.

[@MrHappiness777]

love it!

[@iljmusic280]

Paul said immitate me as I immitate Christ

[@sophiatan9671]

Wow

[@setfreesunday5072]

He forgot to tell us what he does from Monday -Thursday is what I’d like to know?

[@TheSeth011]

Oh yeah, Jimmy John's is the best.

[@The12thSeahorse]

It’s a pity he did not show any of his actual preaching notes.

[@supersmart671]

Is there a divinely inspired way of preparing for a sermon? John MacArthur would be shocked to hear this. He spends around forty hours and reads (if I remember correctly) around 15 commentaries before he preaches. Just wondering if you could clarity. Is there a divinely inspired (prescriptive) way of preaching a sermon? So that I could follow it to the dot and be confident that I am prepared to preach the sermon.

[@o.d.kay633]

me too.

[@minniewascom4564]

Pentecostal preaching

[@USMCKong0311]

Anybody wanna exchange sermons or Bible study? Or need a buddy to Bible study with?

[@anthonywelsh4979]

Why didn’t he mention Holy Spirit ? Or that the word is led by Holy Spirit & revelation revealed by Holy Spirit ? Otherwise it his mere words ,

[@kevinlee1323]

How???? 1 day only? Wow

[@USMCKong0311]

Dang, for me I have to read from a Script. And it takes me like 5 months to write that Script. haha. I'm a really slow writer.

[@therealdrag0]

"...with my little--mouse..."

[@mccuj4509]

Lol! It’s the little things...

[@K1370]

stayed*

[@bigmarkztv3529]

Why don't you just get the imformation and simply say the facts on stage that you know about the topic?

[@maceawilder]

Marcus Brown That seems to leave God out of the prep and the congregation and makes it into teaching, not preaching. Facts are important, don't get me wrong, but they are only the foundation of a sermon. A preacher is to take those facts and use them to connect the congregation with God and draw them closer.

[@richytheditchy1]

BigMarkzTV a preacher of the word is not a math or biology teacher teaching facts about his subject. Nor can you read scripture like that!
