How to Prepare an Effective Message

Pastors, Bible teachers, and Sunday school teachers prepare messages. A pastor calls those messages "sermons," and Bible teachers and Sunday school teachers call them "Bible studies," but by whatever name they are called, they are "speeches." The only difference is the Bible message must contain the correct interpretation of the Scripture.

In this book, G. Michael Cocoris, who has prepared and delivered messages for over 65 years, explains how to prepare effective biblical messages. He begins by discussing how to interpret the Bible correctly. Then, he describes how to prepare the various parts of the message.

Any speech contains a title, an introduction, a subject, an outline, material to support the various points in the outline, and a conclusion. A Bible study is no different. This book explains how to prepare an introduction, kinds of support material, and a conclusion, etc.

Along the way, the Cocoris explains how to make a biblical message effective, meaning messages that grab people by the ears, keep people's attention, pack a punch, move people's feet, etc.

Using this easy-to-follow method for preparing biblical messages will enable any pastor, Bible teacher, or Sunday school teacher to deliver biblically accurate, clear, and effective messages.
