Since the goal of preaching is to change lives, preaching is the ultimate tool for church growth. But how can you be effective in communication through preaching? Listed below are eight questions to ask about your preaching. 1. WHO WILL I BE PREACHING TO? Asking questions like, "What are their needs?", "What are their hurts?", and, "What are their interests?", will help us focus on where the people are. Why ask? Because although there are three things that always get one's attention:  Things that threaten us. - Things that are unusual. - Things that we value. "A preacher can only consistently keep people's attention by focusing on what people value." 2. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT THEIR NEEDS? Since the Bible is the Book of Life, is will have the answer to people’s needs! The preacher's task is to show the Bible to be relevant for today's needs. 3. WHAT IS THE MOST PRACTICAL WAY TO SAY IT? Application is the central task in preaching. So, preaching must be practical enough for people to know what to do. How to make preaching more practical?  Always aim for action. - Tell the people why. - Show them how. Exhortation without explanation leads to frustration. Too often people respond to a message with the expression, "Yes, but how?" In other words, I agree with what you're saying, but "how do I do it?" 4. WHAT IS THE MOST POSITIVE WAY TO SAY IT? Jesus never tried to convert anyone with anger. Although the Scriptures clearly warn of judgment, negative preaching only produces negative people.  Promote the positive alternatives to sin and preach humbly.

"Your problem is that your heart is too big, it leaves you vulnerable and makes you weak." He spoke in such certainty that it brought tears to my eyes, because it was the truth. I was vulnerable and delicate, I was weak and let my guard down too much. "You put your heart on your sleeve. You are oblivious to evil and peoples capabilities because you cannot imagine a person like that, you are blinded by your good nature." "What about yours?" I asked hesitantly, trying to keep the shake out of my voice. He looked at me with confusion for a second so I continued, "What about your heart?" I questioned. He looked at me with his dark eyes, his stare like stone. "I haven't got one." ******* Angela and Adriano are like fire and ice, they are complete opposites. But what happens when Angela gets thrown into Adriano's dangerous lifestyle? Can Adriano protect her from the evils he faces every day? Or does it become too much for the innocent Angela to cope with? *Warning: There maybe be strong language in some of the chapters.* #26 in Romance 10/04 #4 in Romance 19/06 #2 in Romance 28/07 #1 in Romance 03/09
