STUDY 18
Informative to Your Audience
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
SUMMARY: Stimulate the thinking of your listeners, leaving them with the feeling that they learned something worthwhile.
HOW TO DO IT:
-
Consider what your listeners already know. Rather than simply repeating what they have heard before, help them to look at the topic from a fresh perspective.
-
Research and meditate. When possible, include less-familiar facts or current events to illustrate key ideas. Think deeply about your material and the connection between the material and the facts you intend to cite.
-
Show the usefulness of your message. Explain how Scriptural points can help your listeners in their daily lives. Discuss specific situations, attitudes, and actions that are relevant to your listeners.
