7 Powerful Sermon Topics You Should Repeat Often

Sermon Topic #6) A church exists by evangelism and missions as a fire exists by burning.

Sharing our faith is not an option, not for the gifted only (although admittedly some are more fluent and effective than others in this), and not to be done sporadically. “As you go, make disciples” was the command of our Lord in Matthew 28:18ff.

I stood in the foyer of a church of another denomination one day, reading their poster on evangelism. (You do not need my help in identifying the denomination by what follows.) The poster said something like, “Spread the word. Tell people about John Wesley.” I thought, “Wesley? Tell them about Wesley? That’s not evangelism!” That’s the sort of in-house instruction one might wish to do with those who have been converted to United Methodism. But it’s no way to reach the unchurch, uncommitted or uninterested.

Churches must be creative in finding ways to mobilize their members in spreading the faith, must be aggressive in supporting those who are getting it right and doing it well, and must be alert to the distractions which would push evangelism down the list of priorities in the church’s ministries.

Sermon Topic #7) The Bible is the inspired word of God and the spiritual nutrition of believers.

You go a few days without reading your Bible, and soon, you find yourself resisting the inner urge to get back to it. The more you cave into that laziness that resents picking up the Word and opening it, the more you will find yourself saying (or thinking, or both): “I’ve read the Bible. I know it already. There’s nothing new there. It’s boring.”

Those are all lies out of hell. You do not know the Bible. You have not read it. (You may have read “at” it, but there is a world of content there which you have not yet mined.) It is not boring. You are boring, not the Word.

Job said, “I have esteemed the words of thy mouth more than my necessary food.” Jesus said, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” David said the godly man’s “delight is in the Word of God and in that Word (law) doth he meditate day and night.”

Keep telling them, pastor. Keep preaching its insights and delighting in its treasures, and eventually, they will get it. These are simple preaching topics but important.

Repetition is a great teacher. In fact, it may be the best teacher on the planet.
