Sinclair Ferguson: A Preacher's Decalogue

I think it's worth reprinting here Sinclair Ferguson's A Preaching Decalogue. To read it in full, see part 1 and part 2.

Here are Dr. Ferguson's exhortations to preachers:

  1. Get to know your Bible better.
  2. Be a man of prayer.
  3. Don’t lose sight of Christ.
  4. Be more deeply Trinitarian.
  5. Use your imagination.
  6. Speak much of sin and grace.
  7. Use “the plain style."
  8. Find your own voice.
  9. Learn how to transition.
  10. Love your people.
