\u201cWhy do I spend all this time on these sermons if people forget almost everything I say by the time they\u2019re halfway home?!? Sermons are so ineffective!\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Jared\u00a0was a little worked up.\u00a0He\u2019s a pastor, and he was realizing that what he put the most ministry effort into\u00a0(his sermons) was bearing very little tangible fruit in the lives of the people of his congregation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jared\u2019s\u00a0dilemma is pretty common. I\u2019ve been there. Maybe you have, too?<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t make disciples by preaching alone<\/h2>\n

When leaders start participating in\u00a0our coaching<\/a>, one of the disheartening realizations many have is how little their sermons seem to matter in the day-to-day discipleship and transformation of the people in their congregations.<\/p>\n

These leaders learn they can\u2019t make disciples from the pulpit alone.<\/strong> People don\u2019t automatically become more like Jesus simply by listening to sermons and taking notes. So why keep preaching?<\/p>\n

If we want to take discipleship and mission seriously, does preaching even make sense anymore? At best, sermons seem antiquated and unnecessary, and at worst they can actually work against<\/em> discipleship and mission.<\/p>\n

So why preach?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s true that you can\u2019t make disciples by merely preaching sermons. So why preach at all? Maybe the sermon is an old relic we can discard once we’ve undergone a “missional revolution” in our churches?<\/p>\n

\"why-preach\"<\/p>\n

Actually, no.<\/strong>\u00a0Sermons are still crucial<\/em> for empowering and equipping the people of God for mission. But not all sermons are created equal. It depends a lot<\/em> on what you’re doing when you’re preaching, and what you put in your sermons.<\/p>\n

To adapt a Eugene Peterson quote<\/a>, I contend that\u00a0preaching is more important for discipleship\u00a0than anyone imagines, but in a way<\/em> that no one guesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In other words, the problem might not be that<\/em> you\u2019re preaching, but\u00a0how<\/em> you\u2019re preaching.\u00a0Perhaps you don\u2019t need to stop<\/em> preaching per se, but instead\u00a0transform<\/em> your preaching so that it supports and undergirds your disciple-making efforts.<\/p>\n

Because the way<\/em> you preach can support<\/em> discipleship and mission, but it can also\u00a0hinder<\/em> discipleship and mission!<\/p>\n

Preaching that hinders discipleship<\/h2>\n

The fact is that there\u00a0is<\/em> such a thing as bad preaching that actually works\u00a0against\u00a0<\/em>your best disciple-making intentions.<\/strong> Here are 4 examples of sermons that can cripple\u00a0discipleship in your church.<\/p>\n

1. The Doctoral Thesis<\/h3>\n

\"boring\"The Doctoral Thesis is the sermon that seeks to convey correct information, as if forgetting<\/em> is the main problem people have (“Oh, that’s right,<\/em> God loves me! I totally forgot”).<\/p>\n

In at attempt to make sure everyone knows the right facts<\/em> to believe, this sermon exhaustively exegetes every aspect of the passage. It\u2019s almost never shorter than 45 minutes.<\/p>\n

Under the guise of \u201cin-depth Bible teaching,\u201d it only succeeds in making everyone feel impressed with themselves at how much they know about the Bible.<\/p>\n

“Sermon-as-doctoral-thesis” cripples your discipleship efforts because it inoculates people against putting anything into actual\u00a0practice<\/em> in their lives.\u00a0It ends up being the kind of knowledge that only succeeds in \u201cpuffing up\u201d instead of actually “building up” (1 Cor 8:1).<\/p>\n

2. The Guilt Trip<\/h3>\n

\"guilt-trip\"The Guilt Trip sermon tries to get people to modify their behavior by making them feel bad. Toxic fear, guilt, and shame are heaped on people’s shoulders to make them stop sinning.<\/p>\n

Pastors who preach The Guilt Trip are often admired for being \u201cserious about discipleship,\u201d but they\u2019re trying to do God\u2019s work with the devil\u2019s tools.<\/p>\n

It works\u00a0against<\/em> discipleship and mission because God doesn\u2019t use fear, guilt, or shame to get his people to behave. God\u2019s\u00a0kindness<\/em> leads us to repentance. Love is the new law for those in Christ.<\/p>\n

As Dallas Willard said, \u201cGuilt is never a profitable motivation in the kingdom of God.\u201d It\u2019s also not\u00a0a profitable motivator<\/em>\u00a0in the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n

3. The Pep\u00a0Rally<\/h3>\n

\"hang-in-there-baby-kitten-poster\"<\/a>After people get tired of Guilt Trip preaching, they often end up at a church that preaches\u00a0The Pep Rally. This sermon is verbal Chicken Soup for the Soul.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Pep Rally is filled with nice, encouraging, therapeutic platitudes that attempt to help people feel a little less stressed out when they come to church. It\u2019s a little weekend \u201cpick-me-up\u201d after a tough week of life.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a kitten poster telling you to \u201cHang In There, Baby!\u201d Its main goal is to make you feel<\/em> better, to inspire you, to “fill you up” for the week to come.<\/p>\n

But it doesn\u2019t help you make disciples because medicating or dismissing our\u00a0negative emotions doesn\u2019t help us become more like Jesus.<\/p>\n

4. The TED Talk<\/h3>\n

\"mindblown\"Finally, The TED Talk is a sermon that attempts to dazzle<\/em> the congregation with something they\u2019ve never thought of before.<\/p>\n

Usually it tries to unearth some obscure meaning from the original language and amaze everyone with its original and profound insight.<\/p>\n

The basic goal is that people would be\u00a0blown away.<\/em> Every sermon must leave people amazed, posting “Mind. Blown.” on their social media accounts afterward.<\/p>\n

But this sermon cripples your discipleship efforts as well, because disciples don\u2019t need more AMAZING CONTENT to quell their boredom, they need the steadiness and consistency of learning to pay attention to what God is already doing.<\/p>\n

Preaching that supports discipleship<\/h2>\n

So where does that leave us? Admittedly, the sermons above are caricatures, but they\u2019re not that<\/em> exaggerated from the\u00a0sermons you\u2019ll hear in many churches.<\/p>\n

So what is preaching for<\/em>? And what kind of preaching would support discipleship and mission?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because here\u2019s the deal:\u00a0people don\u2019t remember your sermons.<\/strong>\u00a0But this is OK, actually. Why? Because the goal of preaching is not<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0that people\u00a0would remember<\/em>\u00a0the sermon and\u00a0apply<\/em>\u00a0it to their lives.<\/p>\n

Instead, the goal of preaching is that, as the Body of Christ, we would hear the good news <\/em>of the kingdom of God\u00a0<\/em>and respond to it<\/em>, right then and there, as a community.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a LOT there that I can\u2019t unpack fully in this brief article (including the fact the gospel is WAY more than \u201cgoing to heaven when you die\u201d),\u00a0but discipleship is essentially about learning to pay attention to<\/em> and participate in<\/em> the ways God is at work in and around you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preaching that supports discipleship, then, is preaching that proclaims the good news of what God is doing now, and invites us all to respond to the good news by repenting and believing (which means something different than what most assume).<\/p>\n

And you\u00a0don\u2019t respond\u00a0later this week when you pull out your sermon notes and think about how to \u201capply the message.\u201d (Spoiler alert: nobody does this.)<\/p>\n

No, we respond right now!<\/em> Why? Because God is speaking\u00a0right now!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Preaching that supports discipleship is a proclamation of the good news that God has opened the way for us to participate in his life and invites us to respond now that gospel.<\/p>\n

Preaching can\u2019t be good advice, a TED talk, a pep rally, a guilt trip, or doctoral thesis. It must be a contextualized proclamation of good news that calls people to respond\u00a0now.<\/em><\/p>\n

How to preach for discipleship and mission<\/h2>\n

So how do we learn to do this? How do we learn to trust the gospel of the kingdom enough to simply\u00a0proclaim it as an announcement of good news, and invite people to respond?<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a LOT to say about this, so we created a\u00a0free\u00a0webinar <\/strong>to discuss some of what we\u2019ve learned over the past 15 years about preaching for a culture of discipleship and mission. You can watch the replay by filling out the form below.<\/p>\n
