In one sentence, can you articulate the point of the sermon you gave (or heard) this past Sunday?

[awkward pause]

Many sermons suffer from bad theology or lackluster delivery. Almost all sermons suffer from a lack of focus.

As you prepare to preach this week, what’s the one thing you want your hearers to get?

How will you make that crystal clear?

And more importantly: Are you prepared to focus onĀ just one thing for each of the rest of your sermons for 2015?

P.S. All those other outstanding points you want to make? Save them for other sermons. Trust me.
