Emergency situations do happen. Our churches pastor had to take his wife to the emergency room one Sunday at 7:45am. I was contacted at 8am if I could cover the pulpit at our 10:30am service. I said yes. I had 5 sermon outlines ready to go in case of a emergency. Being prepared paid off and that's a spiritual lesson too. I would add, a pastor, or people who speak, should always be growing and in a daily study program first of course to grow in the Lord, but also to know what your saying and to talk your way through something. That often results in being able to handle a worst case scenario as well.
Thank you Pastor Matt. I am 64 years old and just learning to preach. This is very informative and helpful as are most all of you videos.
In impromptu situations, or any situation really, I've learned prayer is the best sermon prep. God will give you the right Scripture and the right words to say in the moment
Thanks pastor Matt. I will probably not deliver a sermon in my church. This does help me appreciate my churches leadership. Blessings
This was interesting. I've always wondered how pastors create their sermons each week.
This was so good, thank you! You explained everything so well and in detail. I feel much more confident to write a sermon or prepare a bible study lesson after watching your video. Before this, my nerves were all over the place. I've definitely subscribed! This was a message that was very much needed and I'm glad I clicked to watch. Keep sharing your knowledge to help build others up and build God's kingdom. We appreciate you!!
Thank you Sir. Keep it up. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 God bless
Excellent contrast between teaching and preaching.
Thanks Doc! Your a faithful servant of our King!
Excellent! After I have been through this material 10 times I might have the audacity to add a comment. Thank you for the “Behind the scenes look.” MikeinMinnesota (New subscriber.)

Wow, thank you!
Thank you for your openness and insight!
Thank You. Gods timing is excellent and perfect. I have been looking into this particular video (seen about 3 times...never had time to finish) and a few others with the purpose of getting ready to start a small group bible study. Today was the clincher. As I am watching this with the intent to finish it, the church's secretary emails me letting me know that my small group got approve. Now stress kicks in and million thoughts with different ideas go through my head. I like this kind of layout since I will be teaching by topic. Excellent and God Bless you. Will be looking into what ither teaching techniques you may have here. Thanks again.
Thank you so much very helpful. I’ve been leading a Bible study for the last eight months and I’ve been doing a good chunk of what you’re talking about. I just didn’t really know I was doing it but now that I outlined, I feel like I’m gonna save myself a lot of frustration.
This is great. Thanks. Have you thought about doing a more in-depth series on sermon development?
This was interesting and very helpful. Thank you!
Wow. When you were talking about the other passage to refrence when Isaiah says "woe is me" I thought of the same exact passage of Peter with Jesus pulling in the fish before you said it lol
Very informative! Thank you!
Excellent teaching as always. I really enjoy your teaching style. Be blessed.
Amazing lesson
Thank you so much for this! I have been filling in for a brother on Sunday morning bible studies and I've never done anything like this but my senior pastor and some brothers have been pushing me to do it as they think I would be a great fit, my first time went really well but I have to do it again coming up soon and what I am most anxious about doing all this is "How do I talk for 45min on like 10 verses???" cause I'm not a very talkative person and if the people aren't very engaged adding to the conversation its gonna be a really really short bible study. Any pro-tips would be amazing for how to make sure you can speak for X length of time.
You make it sound easy 😄
Thanks for the rundown brother 🙏🏽
Thank you so much, God bless you and your ministry 💕🙏🏾
Thank you so much dear brother! This was so helpful to me! I’m grateful for you!
Thanks Pastor Really appreciate want you bring to the faith community on practical ideas....loved the Spurgeon historical perspective......hope to one day make it from the west coast out to your church to visit and take 1-2 minutes of your time to share how your teaching has influenced my bible study notetaking..for topical SOPs .i use an acronym "JEMS" as an homage to Johnathon Edwards Misc System that you provided in one of your videos. ....also really appreciate the PPT to help apply/get started in stuff you shared in this video. Thank you Matt
Thanks for sharing...
Thank you.
Good stuff.
Matt I have that same shirt. Overall, great stuff!
Very helpful. Thank you for sharing this invaluable sermon development video.
Vision of the Triune God - Jesus said that Isaiah saw Him, and also you can look at Paul's visions - Damascus road and being caught to the third heaven. And Isaiah's prophecy is about the New Exodus, and Paul is the preacher of the New Exodus (check GK Beale's N-T bib-theo and Tom Holland's Contours of Pauline Theology). Every blessing to you brother!
Hey pastor Matt, were you taught by Bryan Chapell? I am currently going through his online logos Bible Software course and you remind me of him!
Hi Pastor Matt, I am really enjoying your channel. I am a new subscriber, and I came across this video. would you be willing to do a more detailed video series where you walk through your sermon, preparation process, maybe as if we are sitting with you in your study? As a pastor, I’m always wanting to learn from other pastors to see how they get from text to sermon. Also, I would love to see a video on your favorite commentaries that you have used for different books of the Bible, I’m trying to build up my commentary library. Thanks so much again for the awesome content!
Good video. I have always wondered what preparatory time per sermon time experienced preachers have. Would you mind sharing yours? (example: 3 hours on average to prepare a 20 minute sermon, etc.)
OK, Great! Can we see the real sermon that you preached that Sunday so we can see how preparation turned to delivery? Thanks for this training.
This was a good talk. You might want to try messing with your white balance so the video isn't so blue :) God bless!
This is excellent! Thank you! May I ask how much detail we should add in the outline? Should we write down everything that we will say? Should we leave some room for "improvisation"? How do you know your outline will not go over or under the time allocated?
😮🎉
Great video, thanks for that. However, I think you might have forgotten the most important part of a sermon preparation: Prayer ! (especially if it is a worst case scenario)
Isaiah 45:22

On The Bible Project KZread they said Seraphim was more accurately translated “snake” which I found interesting. Thoughts?

So the root word is very ancient - the connection seems to be the idea that venomous snakes "burn" when they bite. In general, we should be careful that we don't make too much of root words, and it is certainly possible to draw unhelpful connections. Hope that helps!

@@MatthewEverhard thanks for clarifying.
When you embarrass yourself, you embarrass your wife for her value is also tied to yours. While I agree that hero narratives are overdone, the answer isn't to portray yourself as a Homer Simpson. There's a fine line between demonstrating humility and reinforcing or idealizing 'stupid husband' archetypes.
Thanks, do you believe in the baptism of the Holy Ghost?
