1. Passion Week preaching is not simply preaching about the events leading up to Jesus’ crucifixion but to announce to the world how through this single death, sins are answered for, and God is reconciled with humanity.
  2. God saves us through people. He saves us through means. He puts a voice on the gospel.
  3. Justification and regeneration are, therefore, necessarily connected and have profound implications upon the craft of preaching.
  4. Your delivery may be perceived as an asset or an obstacle to heralding the message of our Lord. What may help your delivery is a touch of theatrics.

  10. What preacher’s deliver to their hearers is not just one or another gift, a present or two that enriches life. Preachers also deliver the very presence of the Lord.
  11. . . . to which Jesus answers, "Why? What have you heard?" Jesus challenges all the doubts about Himself and demands we believe in who He truly is.
  12. Do we honestly believe what we tell our hearers really makes any significant difference in the coming week for them?
