Roster Role: 8am Preacher

Edit

This role requires you to:

  • Prepare yourself by reading and working through the passage personally with deep thought and prayer.
  • Research as you feel is necessary or appropriate.
  • Write a sermon approximately 20-40 minutes in length. Include the reading of the Sermon Passage in your sermon, or inform the Service Leader if you want it read by someone else. The assumption is that the Preacher will read the Sermon Passage himself.
  • Communicate with the Service Leader beforehand to discuss your main idea/s, and how the service can possibly be structured or extra items that could be included to support your main idea/s.
  • The use of slides, videos, songs or other thought-provoking stimuli is encouraged. Please try to get these to the Staff before the end of Wednesday in the week leading up to your sermon so they can be loaded onto the Sound Desk Computer and tested.
  • Arrive early to liaise with the Service Leader and those rostered to manage the Computer and the Sound Systems.
  • You're welcome to incorporate a question time at the end of your sermon if you wish but please let the Service Leader know in advance if you plan to do this.
