« Multi-Site Churches... Again | Main | Conclusion »
Thabiti, Mike M., Mike G., Aaron, Jonathan, and Greg,
What is point of the sermon conclusion? I know there are lots of ways to conclude a sermon, but in general what should a pastor be trying to accomplish as he wraps up a sermon?
Thanks for passing on your wisdom on this matter.
The 9Marks blog aims to stimulate a helpful conversation among pastors, church leaders, and Christians about life together in the local church.
About Comments: We ask for all public comments to be made prayerfully and with the respect you would offer to people face to face. Since these comments are public, we would be grateful if you would include your first name, last name, and church affiliation unless your question or comment is of a sensitive nature. We will not respond to most comments.
In general, it should be the call to action.
But that is true for more than just sermons. That should be the point, for example, at the end of a Bible study. Otherwise, we are, as James says, staring intently at ourselves in the mirror and walking away forgetting what we looked like.
Sadly, there are many sermons that give no call to action whatsoever and that seems to be the norm.
