I think many rely on one way of preaching because it is comfortable and what they have seen/heard the most. That is the case with me. I think the more we expand our reach and explore other areas of telling story, teaching, and educating we will be able to leave the confines of one style and see the beauty of teaching different ways.

I have found that such sermons styles are not as power-point friendly as the deductive, point by point, sermon. So I am curious, do you use power-point? I use projection technology for showing occasional videos, pictures, etc... but that is about it. I am still waiting for some churches to get past the idea that one cannot be a good preacher without power-point. As for the movements...I agree, if a movement is only a sentense on paper then it is too short and will not help the sermon at all. And all the stories, illustrations, theological reflections, etc...must fit the focus and function of the sermon which in turn should emerge as a result of the exegetical work on the particular passage. Also, have you ever had a chance to listen to a sermon by Charles Campbell of David Fleer (who teaches at Lipscomb U.)? Just curious what you thought of the Post-Liberal approach to preaching?
