What can we use of Spurgeon's preaching method for our day?
Maybe, we can share some preaching tips.
I thought that we need to bring more depth to our sermons
and combat the reductionistic spirit of our day and age.
C.H. Spurgeon is a great example to do this in my opinion.
God blessings and have a good Reformation Day.
- 1. Perfect illustrations, my great aid for preaching are some books full of illustrations. C.H. Spurgeon thought me the power of strong illustrations. Where do you get good illustrations? Daily life, books, the newspaper etc.? Or can you share a good illustration which moved you and/or the body of Christ.
- Calling the congregation "sinners". I most often hear pastors call them friends, family, and church. If a Christian’s life is to be one of repentance, then they must continually be reminded of their need to repent. I’ve been reading though Spurgeon’s full sermon archive and in every sermon he calls out to the sinners. Which is everyone!
