In this lesson, Rev. Brent Ingersoll gives an overview of the three stages of sermon development. First, you must decide on what you are going to preach. Then you must develop the content of the sermon into a form that will get the congregation to the right destination. Finally, one must prepare and deliver it in a way that is effective.

This lesson aims to equip you to:

1. Describe the stages of sermon preparation.
2. Appreciate the importance of having a “burden” for what you are going to preach.
