How To Review Your Sermon - Reviewing your sermon affirms what is working, tweaks what is broken and ultimately makes the experience more engaging.

It benefits the staff because they aren't trying to create slides on Saturday night. It benefits volunteers because they have clear instructions on Sunday morning. And it benefits guests because they get a better sermon. And this workshop doesn't just apply to preachers but it applies to all modern church leaders. Because the practical steps that we will cover applies to any talk you give - regardless of the content, duration or audience size.
