At some point, most of us, whether clergy or laypeople, have found ourselves needing to speak to a group, write a sermon, or craft a meaningful message. And when that moment comes, the blinking cursor or blank page can feel more intimidating than inspiring.
Personally, I’ve always believed it’s easier to revise than to invent, to tweak something existing rather than start from scratch. That’s the spirit behind this book. Think of it as a tool: a guide, a prompt, a memory jogger, a brain-thawer. Something to help get the gears turning when inspiration is running low.
Now, let’s be honest. This book won’t do everything. It’s not meant to be a ready-to-read collection of complete sermons. Congregations are usually pretty sharp. They know when you’re reading someone else’s words. While there’s nothing wrong with borrowing ideas, there’s something deeply powerful about delivering a message that’s truly your own.
So use what you find here as a foundation. Let these mini-sermons spark your thoughts, shape your outlines, or fill in a few gaps. And when the time comes to stand and speak, may your words reflect both your preparation and your heart.
