7 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF BEFORE PREACHING // FRANCIS CHAN

Are you a preacher? Below are some really useful questions to ask before each sermon from Francis Chan. They’re also helpful questions to ask for listeners. I’ve been encouraged by his preaching and his character and look forward to hearing him in Australia later this year. Here are my previous Francis Chan posts and here is his official website.

1. Am I worried about what people think of my message or what God thinks? (Teach with FEAR)
2. Do I genuinely love these people? (Teach with LOVE)
3. Am I accurately presenting this passage? (Teach with ACCURACY)
4. Am I depending on the Holy Spirit’s power or my ow cleverness? (Teach with POWER)
5. Have I applied this message to my own life? (Teach with INTEGRITY)
6. Will this message draw attention to me or to God? (Teach with HUMILITY)
7. Do the people really need this message? (Teach with URGENCY)

Any other questions worth asking?
