This recording comes out after I'm will have done something like this at one of our services in Watford. I want to help the congregation - and especially the children - to engage with the theme of the service, which is a special emphasis on the Lord's supper. At the beginning of the service I will be talking about favourite meals and sharing one of mine. I also have an illustration involving a voucher for the "just eat" service.
What are your thoughts on the techniques Bercot raises?
Conclusion
Next time, we will explore preparing an expository sermon.
Has today’s tip been worth two minutes of your time? I hope so.
