Increasing Sermon Effectiveness

What makes a good sermon? How do you know if you are effective as a preacher? How can we raise the bar as ministers of the Word? What can churches do to increase sermon effectiveness? These kinds of questions were asked at the recent meeting of Classis Queensland. If we are serious as pastors to increase the overall health of our churches, one of the very best places to begin is with the Word being preached. Good sermons are not automatic; it takes much effort on behalf of every servant of the Word. And one way to improve sermon effectiveness is intentionally receiving listener feedback.  Here is an evaluation form which can be downloaded and used by pastors and church leaders to receive listener feedback.
