Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you preach faithfully, clearly, and better. 

In this episode, H.B. gives several tips for stating the points, headings, or movements of the main body of your sermon. Effective sermons have clear structure. The structure of the sermon does not have to be explicit. But a good sermon outline benefits both the preacher and the hearer. 

How should you state your sermon outline? 

1. Use simple statements.
2. Use clear statements. 
3. Use biblical statements. 
4. Use provable statements. 
5. Use complete statements. 
6. Use distinct statements. 
7. Use parallel statements. 
8. Use present-tense statements. 
9. Use action statements. 
10. Use memorable statements.
