Preacher, it is okay if you are not hip, cool, or smooth. You are a herald of the gospel, not the manager of a brand. Who cares if they are not impressed with you? Your job is to point them to Jesus!

A biblical sermon doesn’t start with a topic, it starts with a text. And you don’t make a sermon more biblical by stacking up dozens of scripture references on top of a topic. You make it more biblical by going deeper into a single text. - Barry McCarty
