What makes a sermon so memorable that it sticks?

According to Pastor Rene Schlaepfer, "sticky" sermons share some important common ingredients.

In this practical session, pastors will receive tools to communicate life-changing messages with staying power!

"Most communicators are tempted to tell you everything that they know about a subject in perfect detail, right up front," says Rene, "when they should be giving you just enough info to be useful — then a little bit more."

When it comes to speaking — less is definitely more!

Rene will provide lively and specific examples to keep your speaking clear, credible and concrete.

"Your message is made up of words and sentences that will either put people to sleep — or grab them by the throat!" warns Schlaepfer.

Jesus was an amazing simplifier Himself!

Gather your pastoral and volunteer teaching team to learn how to follow His example!

• Use stories to evoke emotion or frame hard questions.
• Do the unexpected.
• Speak in present tense and cut unnecessary words.
• Be personal.

In addition, you'll learn how to harness the power of literary devices such as manuscripts, personal pronouns and present tense verbs!

Have fun and keep your messages sticky!
