As you prepare to deliver a message you need to have a systematic strategy that enables you to study effectively. When you are preaching, you are fostering an environment that is perceptive to the word of God. In order to do this, it is imperative that you begin to dive deep into the bible and other resources that will feed you. If you have a busy schedule, it can be difficult to find time to read and study materials that our outside of the topic that you are speaking on next. While this is true, maintaining regular study habits pertaining to a vast array of materials will make you a better speaker.
As you are searching for resources it can be difficult to identify what will be the most beneficial to you. In other instances, there will be times when you feel like there is so much to read and study, that you will get overwhelmed by what you do not have time to do. In cases like these, it is important to plan on maintaining regular study habits so that you are consistently learning.
When someone is listening to you speak, you want them to have a sense of confidence that you understand what you are saying. Once you know what your topic is going to be, studying that topic more in depth will build a strong understanding so that you sound confident and knowledgeable as you speak. Aside from basic research and studying, the time you spend in the Bible will be honored by God as you speak. If you are actively looking for other resources, but you are not consistently reading the Bible, you will not have what it takes to deliver an effective sermon.
