The Three C’s of Preaching

  • PG sermons are designed to give you a simple skeleton for your sermon. The preacher’s job is to prayerfully put “flesh” on it using scripture, exposition, and personal stories.
  • Prep with the “3 C’s” in mind. Be clear. Be concise. Be compelling. Great preaching engages everyone – seekers as well as believers, young and old, male and female.

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

  • Ethos speaks to the credibility of the speaker. Are you believable? What qualifies you to preach in the first place?
  • Pathos speaks to the emotions of the audience. Why should they listen? Have you prepared the message in a way that connects to them?
  • Logos speaks to the logic of the message. Does it make sense? Have you connected the big idea to the talking points with simplicity in mind?
