The challenge of first sermons

Sermon Preparation

“I’ve given up trying to determine if a sermon is good or not. There have been too many days when I’ve ended the sermon thinking that was the best sermon I’ve ever preached, only to hear nothing back from the congregation. Other days, I’ve ended the sermon and thought it was the worst sermon I had ever preached only to be overwhelmed by responses by people who heard the sermon and in some clumsy moment of my presentation” - Baptist Press
