Summer Sermon Reflection This summer I learned that I have unique style that I utilize to communicate the word of God. Even though I was preaching to a completely different and new audience, I noticed that I maintained the same style of preaching I have utilized at the EBC.

How to Preach a Lousy Sermon There are some people in the congregation that would devour a bad sermon and yet will not take the opportune time to give good feedback. We know that greedy people will gobble up whatever is put before them. What is tasteful to some is not necessarily tasteful to others. Not everyone in the pulpit is gifted by God to preach.
