Presentation, dialogue, and discussion on the biblical text by Graves, Hoezee, and Wilson.
Since the inception of the New Homiletic in the 1970s, preachers have been experimenting with inductive and narrative forms of preaching, thanks to the likes of Fred Craddock and Eugene Lowry. The idea is for sermons to engage people, create an experience of the biblical text.
Preachers are always searching for illustrations, and if you know where to look, short stories are an excellent resource.
Although sermon preparation involves lots of steps-everything from selecting a text to embodying the sermon on Sunday-the search for meaningful illustrative material during the week is often the most frustrating.
