Greetings, please can I get pointers on how to preach Christ from the Book of Judges. Thank you.

Curious how everyone builds their slides for their presentations. Do you use the PPGR on your presentation slides or just the principle statement itself? My current sermon slide structure, before using Preach360, has been: Title > Big Idea > Text > Point 1 > Point 2 > Etc > Embracing _______ (typically reframing Big Idea). Share your best practices with me. 🙂

What is an anchor image you've used recently that you found helpful? How did it carry the passage from beginning to end. Examples of these cases really help new folks see what anchor illustrations are and how they work. I'll go first. In a sermon on Psalm 51, I used the image of someone knocking on the front door while you're sorting dirty laundry in the den. What do you do? Hide? What if you could be free enough to open the door and say, "Come on in, excuse the mess." This carried because I was able to come back to the image over and over, the emotional issues related to it, and the concrete action of opening the door. The mess is real. Confessing the mess is hard. Jesus comes in to clean the mess for us. Now, we can be real, confessing the mess but celebrating the one who bore the stench in my place.

It's Wednesday. I hope you've made good progress for Sunday. 😃 If you have your text, keyword, and PPGR outline and you're willing to share it, post in the comments below. Let's see and celebrate our progress together!

I'm looking for a few people who would like to try Claude/Anthropic as their AI model for Preach360 this week. I can take up to five folks. Volunteer in the comments. 👇 And just a reminder: Live office hours today 11:00 AM ET! Bring your questions, this Sunday's sermon, and whatever else you want to talk about. I love Office Hours!
