Video Three-Sermon Preparation: The Big Idea (Updated)

This is the third of an eight-part video series in which David Christensen, Founder and President of The Rephidim Project, teaches how to create a central idea for sermon preparation. (Updated 2024)
In this instructional video, David Christensen delves into crafting the central idea for your sermon, inspired by Haddon Robinson's concept of the "Big Idea." Drawing a parallel between sermon preparation and baking a cake, he highlights the importance of moving beyond mere biblical information to developing a focused, life-applicable message. He explores how to transform exegetical insights into a compelling homiletical idea that resonates with your audience.
Key steps include making the idea personal, theological, relevant, and visual. By the end of the video, you'll understand how to create a clear, impactful central idea that gives unity and purpose to your sermon. Perfect for preachers and anyone involved in sermon preparation.
