Hey everyone! If you like my content here on RUclips, please consider ordering my new book called "Souls: How Jesus Saves Sinners." It contains my best stuff on the simple, pure, glorious Gospel. God saves us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ! Get it here: amzn.to/3yI0y4P
Can you tell me where was Jesus when Adam was born? Where Abraham, Noah, christians or Jews?
Why will God , the almighty want a son? His word is Be and it is. Jesus was just a man created by God, a messenger sent to convey the message.
Would you like to kill your son on the cross? Would you want your son to be your owner? How do you attribute such to God Almighty?
"The Bible is more interesting than anything you have to say" My new favorite 'non-biblical' quote! Love your ministry brother!
@Kashton Alexander nah, don't think I will, k thx bye.
The Bible is more interesting than anything I have to say
That’s awesome!!
There's some serious irony in this comment, hah
I preached today at the evening service, I used your tips and it gone pretty much better than the last time. I opened my Bible and (almost) forgot my tablet. Thanks, pastor! God bless you. Soli Deo Gloria
Thank you so much for sharing these five tips. As a young pastor it is very releasing to know that I do not have to do all the "cool things" when really I just want to be God's man speaking to the people He asked me to pastor.
I am a preacher but I am used to using my manuscript. I must step out on faith to let go of my manuscript
Thanks for this...I've preached for awhile with the tablet and got convicted...going to try with the no notes and Bible in hand this Sunday :)
Yes! Go for it Austin!
Matt, as a now retired pastor who preached from the bible weekly for over 35 years, I totally agree with the 5 points you made. YOU YOUNGER GUYS OUT THERE--Heed Matt's words. He has provided really wise advise.
What's the point no. 5 actually I didn't get it
Thank you!!!
@@josephdoulunlalsamte372 point 5 says, don't imitate other preachers.
@@josephdoulunlalsamte372 I believe he's saying in other words, be yourself.
LOL, if you write your entire sermon that means that you aren’t relying on God but on your own intellect. YAHUSHA said not to think or premeditate what you want to say. It is the Holy Spirit that will give us the words to say.
True! I'm reminded about having an open bible when preaching. Thanks so much Pastor Matt!
I never was a pastor but when I preached, I found expository preaching to be easier because one is not jumping around chasing scripture references. For a Bible doctrines or "Commonplaces" class, one may have to look up various scripture references. However, in the pulpit, I agree that expository preaching should be the usual method, while a topical study is best done only occasionally.
I find you to be an excellent and edifying speaker, and learn a lot from your videos. Thanks!
If memory serves, John A. Broadus, a Southern Baptist professor from the 19th century, also told his students to write out a full manuscript and then leave it at home.
Thank you for this!!! I agree with all of this and have done most of it as long as I have preached. ( I was lucky enough to have a preacher teach me this as a young person)
However its easy to get away from it, its nice to hear it again !!! Strengthening !!!
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
I agree. In fact, I am practicing your five ways 🙏.
Thank you for all of this! I always appreciate your videos and what you have to share.
Thanks Michael!
Thank you for the tips Matthew! Great job on your presentation. I've been a pastor/preacher for 27 years and I'm always looking to learn. I watched your video and I learned something new. Thank you and God bless your ministry!
I could not agree with you more! So good! Glad I came across this!!!
Very good tips. I am going to follow your advices as I am learning small by small by, God's grace, how to preach to a small congregation. May God bless you, your family and ministry.
I get sick can my stomach when I see the church not using their Bible's not bringing their Bibles the Bible's is nowhere in play 😮😔 especially the preacher I strongly believe he of all should be leading us with the Bible in hand your church is the one I would go to seek out and love to be a part of. You are everything I want from a Man of God... never stop never change what you're doing it is extremely powerful. And I pray one day the Lord puts a guy like you in my path a church that I can become a part of too. 🙏
Thank you so much Cat! Kind and wonderful words!
I love these techniques
This was really positive and helpful!! Thank you very much!
You are definitely one of the best youtubers in the world. Thank you for this video!!!
It was awesome, pastor.Thank you very much, God bless you.
Hi there pastor Matt,
I've been really enjoying your channel here is Oz. I'm a young reformed Baptist. I serve in my church leading corporate worship and lay preaching. It really struck me your comments on stop trying to imitate others...when I've struggled in my preaching it has been when I've tried to be someone else instead of just being myself. The power is not in me, but in the word of God. I keep trying to remind myself again and again keep preaching Jesus, keep pointing people to him and the salvation that he alone brings, and depend on the Spirit of Truth to take the word and do a work in people.
Also agree with the comments on PPT. I find it distracting and preachers fumble their way through slides instead of pointing me to the text.
Grace and peace,
All you've said is nothing but TRUTH. God bless you, your family and your ministry.
Thank you!!! Good advice
Keep it up God bless
Best video on RUclips. Thanks so much!
I’ve been asked to preach in Presbyterian churches . I always find the experience rewarding. I love the experience
This is absolutely great brother!
Hey mat I love ur channel and I wanna start sharing in my church on thrursdays I might share this Thursday thank you for the tips love ur channel

Thank you pastor! This is great advice I will follow!

Thank you for our video!
The use of technology really comes down to personal conviction, style, and experience. It can be both the Bible and technology.
I see many well known preachers using printed and numbered pages that are the same size of the pages in their Bible. I would argue flipping through those pages during a sermon is no less distracting than scrolling through a PDF manuscript on an iPad. It is actually more distracting for me as I can't help but count many pages they have turned over wonder how many they have left!
I would much rather know that someone is preaching from a well prepared manuscript than trying to pull together the fragmented pieces they can remember from their sermon and failing to adequately communicate the Word in the process as they awkwardly ad lib.
Ultimately, each preacher should do what best enables him to faithfully preach the Word.
point number 2 really works, writing full manuscripts transformed my preaching a couple years ago..
My pastor is an excellent expositor, the best I have seen in the AoG! The focus of each service is the Word preached, not praise and worship, but the sermon. What you have described is timeless. It worked hundreds of years ago before tech and will work the same for us today. God bless you.
Your FB friend, James Doyle Moore
69telecasterplayer I’m a AG pastor!
What church or what Pastor? In the A0G myself, and a young bible expositor! Need more pentecostal expositors!
Tottie Taito My church is True Worship AG in the Northwest Florida District. My pastor is Adam Peterson. He is an executive presbyter. You may know him. You can hear his recent Facebook Messages at the True Worship Facebook page. So glad to know that you also love Brother Matt. Our Presbyterian brethren are great.
Luna Xarsenal wonderful! God bless you.
What's the whole point of exposition if that doesn't lead you to praise and worship God? 🤷
Thank you for this video
Great advice. About 20 years ago when visiting family in GA we went to church with my aunt, she went to Andy Stanley’s church. It was Veterans Day. Walking out of the church my niece who was only about 9 years old said, “nobody had a Bible, he didn’t mention Jesus.” Enough said.
So I haven’t watched much of your content, but the fact that you said “I’m not the best preacher in the world, and I don’t claim to be” that was worth a follow and checking you out further!
Thank you so much pastor
Thanks for the video. I find that all these videos you do are very well thought out and helpful. I’m actually going to be starting to try for the ministry this September (in Northern Ireland, PCI) and so it’s been good to hear your perspective on something I’ve been thinking a lot about.
Amen!

This is so good , I appreciate your words of wisdom .
Excellent advice,thank you.
Thank you! Point five is huge, young men take heed. We serve the Almighty, Creator God and if He wanted another Piper or Graham or Sproul, he could easily create another one. Be the man God is calling you to be and be amazed at what He can do with that man. To God be the glory!
Amen!
Thank you I need it this ,
So good!
Thank you sir. Great video
Excellent point especially Expository preaching and the technology bit. I come from the Reformed Presbyterian church of Ireland so I appreciate POV

thank you Matthew Everhard @ I learn a lot from this channel as a young minister
I manuscript exclusively and preach that very manuscript, word for word, dynamically. God has gifted me with the ability to write well. I, personally, believe that the Spirit of God is as active, if not more so, with regards, especially, to the content, during the preparation of a sermon as He is in the delivery of it. At the end of the day, this is conviction that has been placed upon myself for myself. I know its not for everyone.
Incredible lessons!!!
This was very helpful. Thank you

Agreed!
I am not a preacher like you. But I still find each of your videos to be so helpful. I can use these helpful tips and apply them when I go out to Witness to those I may bump into at the store. Thank you so much for this and all that you do. I greatly appreciate it. Your truly inspiring✏📖💞
Thanks Cat! Love your stuff too!
Good one sir. Especially point #1. Nowadays it's almost tempting to ditch the text and go topical.
Subbed! Thanks from portugal, madeira
About 12-13 years ago. I read where Spurgeon made his students preach from a manuscript for five years. I did it for three and after that went to basically preparing a manuscript but preaching from an outline. I was amazed at how my memory was expanded to remember full sermons that I studied
Thank you pastor
Great video. I disagree with the tech one. I think personally there is little difference between paper manuscript and a tablet. But that's just my opinion. Awesome video like normal just giving my opinion.
Amen! Thanks for the feedback Bill!
Can you do a video on what what men wanting to be pastors can do when seminary is not an option?
Thank you.
God bless you
great stuff
Ok, I honestly thought I was the only one who thought it was a good idea to write out the entire sermon. Lol.
Thank you for the video.
Great advice
This video was extremely helpful. Any advice for common mistakes that newly minted preachers might make?
Amen. Very interesting, Have learnt.
Excellent advice. Thanks for the video! I went through the same tech removal phase. I do still have slides of my text, verse by verse to assist the audience, but other than that it’s just me and my Bible. And I don’t use a podium or hid behind anything. I’m right in front of the congregation in the aisle with Bible in hand. Since making these moves my preaching has really improved and the congregation keeps voicing how much more personal and effective it is.
Powerful
God bless you more sir

Thank you sir. This has given me a practical way on how to handle homiletics. I am the definitely a new subscriber. I hope to gain value from you and I hope you can with me as well. God bless
Good tips
Thanks
I know this is a few years post creation, but I wanted to make a few comments.
1) I agree with you about the technology!! I have been in services where technology was in every portion of the service, from pre-service prayer to song service to announcements and then the preaching. It was just too much. I can understand having the songs on a screen or wall during the singing, though I still prefer the hymnal/ songbook. However, most other applications are distractions and not complements to the sermon of lesson. This would not be an absolute rule for a Bible study service, such as generally occurs in the midweek. But video clips before or during are most often an atrocity and not particularly reverent.
2) I agree with an open physical Bible in the pulpit, but I will request your mercy if I do not carry my study Bible that I preach from back and forth across the platform in one hand while holding a microphone in the other. I would hope that you would agree that this is a recipe for disaster, particularly if the message notes are contained in the pages.
3) I think that your idea of writing the message out is intriguing. I am not a pastor, and my ability to preach in our small congregation is somewhat limited, but this does seem to be a useful idea, particularly if one is preparing a message for an indefinite occassion. As I am not generally informed until the day of, sometimes with only a couple of hours notice, implementing this might be more difficult. I generally preach my messages from a rough outline of Scriptural addresses that I intend to read, quote, or reference, which tends not to allow me to stray too far from the Scripture.
Wow....this is as effective to me as a Swiss army knife. Powerful points and I will focus on this teaching going forward. Thank you very much.
Great video. Kinda funny looking back at the preachers you named not to imitate because they have all gone downhill since this video.
Such a timely advise and great video. Agree to all except dropping the tech. Moses used stone tablets, Ezekiel was eating scrolls and the NT has been using scrolls as well. I think the church should use new tech but very carefully and thoughtfully. Just my opinion. Praise God!
No three I liked most
I'd love to know what is on the Jonathan Edwards poster right behind you out of curiosity. Thanks for the insightful video. Great content! God bless.
