One simple suggestion for a Sunday after conference. Some of our pastors need to learn that there is more to preaching than zeal or enthusiasm. Like pastor Greg preached at conference, you need a plan. You need a spark of inspiration followed by a plan of action. They need to learn how to structure a message so that it has a beginning, middle, and a logical ending. They need scriptures, and illustrations with a poem or a quote thrown in for clarity. This is all preaching 101.
We are a friendly crowd and we are pulling for you. But some sermons take more enduring than listening. Preaching is part art and part science. It is inspiration plus execution. Preaching requires a big heart and a brain. No local church will grow beyond the ability of the pastor to preach with wisdom and understanding. You need more than your testimony if your church is going to grow beyond the new convert stage.
