Interactive Preaching

In 2016, I graduated from Luther Rice College and Seminary with a Doctor of Ministry degree. My research project was titled A Study of the Impact of an Interactive Preaching Model on a Small 
Congregation in Kentucky. My research was based on the hypothesis that people would find sermons more useful if they were given an opportunity to ask questions during the sermons.

There were two ground rules for asking interactive questions: 1) The questions had to relate to a person’s understanding of the Scripture upon which the sermon was based, or 2) the questions had to relate to how a person could better understand how to apply the Scripture to their lives. The purpose for the interaction was NOT to facilitate Sunday-School class type discussions or to argue different viewpoints of Scripture.

It is my belief that most followers of Christ want to become more like Him. They either don’t understand how well equipped they are or they don’t understand how to access the resources that God supplied us with when we were saved in order that we may reflect Christ’s image in our own lives.

Over the next couple of months, I am going to be finishing a book which describes the purpose of and how to better access the Fruit of the Spirit that exists in every believer of Jesus. I hope you will keep an eye out for questions and discussions that I post on this site so that you may help me understand others’ perceptions and feelings regarding both interactive preaching and the Fruit of the Spirit. Everyone have a blessed weekend and happy Lord’s Day!
