    Pastor Wesley,
    I have NEVER seen a pastor share the craftsmanship, the work,and the dedication behind the gift that God has given. Thank you for your transparency, showing the commitment and joy of preaching for future generations. You are a TRAILBLAZER!

    I’m a 17 year old preacher, almost 3 years in, preparing to preach this Sunday and this was a needed blessing! Preaching is a never ending journey from start until you take your last breath. The wisdom and knowledge that I have received is soo helpful, important, and inspiring! It took me a while to find that I preach better without notes, and it’s a challenge always committing an outline to my mind. But the advice about not jumping into writing, but sitting with the text as much as possible….LIFE CHANGING!! Thank you Dr. Wesley🙏🏾

I've been watching you for the past 4-5 years (Alfred Street is my online church but without membership for now) and have been amazed at your craft of preaching. Your passion for Christ/Bible, life, family, always drew me to your relatable sermons. I love the "RLI to Text" style as I haven't read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations but you make it so easy for me to understand and make me want to read it for myself! Thank you for bringing me thru life with your (and Dr. Cosby) sermons! I Love You both!!!!

Your incredible gift for teaching relevant, life-changing messages with biblical accuracy and wisdom is nothing short of remarkable. The way you consistently share such profound insights is truly a blessing.
    This gift you’ve offered us through this video is invaluable and a testament to your commitment to enhancing the quality of sound preaching. Thank you for sharing this resource, especially for those who may not have had the financial means to access it otherwise. I believe this will be one of the most widely shared teachings on sermon preparation in history.
    The richest part for me was the emphasis on structure and trusting God once the preparation is done. Blessings to you, my brother!

    Pastor Wesley, In 2014 I was blessed to be awarded a fellowship scholarship which required me to temporarily relocate to the DMV area. Once I got settled in with my Fellowship responsibilities. I began looking for a Church to continue my spiritual growth and walk with God. Colleagues made suggestions on where I might find a church home away from home(Cleveland, Ohio). My journey brought me to Alfred Street Baptist Church (ASBC). I returned to Cleveland, I am grateful to have grown spiritually and mentally by hearing the word of God delivered by you at ASBC and participating in the Online Men’s Sunday School and Bible Study classes. You and your administrative team are doing Great Things at ASBC , and I truly appreciate being a part of this fellowship experience. God’s Continued Blessing Over You, Your Family, and Your Administrative Team.

    Dr. Wesley: Thank you for this brilliant, well-crafted exposé on your personal process to reach sermon readiness. As a seminary professor of worship and music, this short video is packed with possibilities for class discussions and opportunities to explore the implications this process has for worship planning, selecting appropriate music, and the integration of other worship arts media (dance, drama, visual arts, etc.). You have given us so much to unpack. Thank you for your transparency. Thank you for the clarity and quality of the content contained in this presentation. Please know I am making this video a required assignment one of the up-coming modules in my MUSIC AS MINISTRY course. I hope other worship professors, musicians, ministers of music, and worship pastors will see the value in watching and reflecting on what you have provided. Thank you!

    I appreciate this transparent, informative explanation of Rev. Dr. Wesley’s process. When I tell people how long it takes to realistically put together a thorough sermon/lesson, it’s almost like they don’t believe it. Many think it takes a day or hours, leading up to Sunday but for many preachers, it’s difficult to turn off that process even right after we just preached.

    Stumbled upon this video and couldn't click on it fast enough. I first heard Pastor Wesley preach back in circa 2001. He preached a revival at my church (Mt Zion of Ontario in California). He blessed us so much that he was invited back the next year and blessed us even more. I have followed his ministry ever since that time.
    I am no preacher, but as he described how he prepares for a sermon, it so aligned with how i prepare to lead a song as a P&W / choir member. I take that as a confirmation that I am doing something right.
    I have so wanted to ask how he preached seemingly workout notes. I'm glad he answered that question!!!! Thank you pastor for this peak behind the curtain. May God continually bless, keep and use you, man of God.

    I love Dr. Wesley's sermons. I believe he is genuinely used by God because his heart is in the right place. We are also similar in age, so I can relate to a lot of how he thinks. What I find confusing about Dr. Wesley, is the few times I have heard him talk negatively about Trump. The Democrats can be just as ugly and controversial as Trump, yet, there is a clear bias against Trump that implies, vote democrat. We may disagree on who to vote for, but I pray Dr. Wesley continues to be blessed and used by God.

    Rev Dr Howard John Wesley, thank you for all the sacrifice you put in to feed God's people with God's Word. Thank you for letting me go through your experience as a preacher. Having a whole week to prepare for 45 to 50 minutes sermon is really so demanding.
    However, I feel challenged and motivated as a young preacher for more dedication to the Lord's Service.
    Just a question: How can the lone Pastor in a congregation balance all the other ministries of the church with effective preaching?
