INDEX TO THE SERMONS, CONTINUED |
Drawing people together requires body language and gestures of unplanned words |
Sermons work best as explorations, with the preacher carrying the flashlight |
For confessional sermons to work they must be based in feeling, not read words |
We need sermons that dream, but dreams can only be conjured from the heart |
Nothing kills our ability to really challenge people like manuscripts and notes |
Stories are made to be told; we read stories to children to put them to sleep |
Kenneth Burke called our telling of stories to each other 'equipment for living' |
When we know something well, we always explain it best extemporaneously |
How we speak invariably communicates far more than any words we choose |
Sometimes certain subjects demand that we speak slowly, thinking every word |
The more complex the subject, the more we need to speak without notes |
Always speak naturally, as in a passionate, engaged, around-the-table conversation |
Sermons should call out things in people, but that can only be done heart-to-heart |
To build trust, nothing works like uninterrupted eye-to-eye contact and authenticity |
