Structure

Although the structure of a given sermon will vary depending on content and context, the standard sermon follows this basic framework:

1. An opening illustration or reflection on a problem or experience faced by the congregation. This opening sets the stage for what the main issue for exploration will be. (“It can be stressful to pack up and move. Changes in life are often sources of anxiety…”)
2. A reflection on the scriptural text as one addressing the problem or experience outlined in part one. (“In today’s text, we see Abraham faced with a similar dilemma: to stay in the only place he’s ever known or …”)
3. A deeper dive into the scriptural text (exploring the context of its writing and audience) as well as into the issue being addressed. (“The Israelites who would have heard these stories the first time would have had their own experiences being on the move and in need of moving from their homes—sometimes for tragic reason …”)
4. The lessons learned from the text and their application to our situation. (“But just as God was with Abraham and with the Israelites in Exile, so, too, is God with us in our times of change and disruption…”)
5. Conclusion. Summary of lessons learned with a charge to the congregation, often referencing part 1. (“We’re called to pack up our things, not because we are certain of what it will be like, but because we know that God will be with us wherever we go.”)
