as possible, I’ll use my notes from this series of messages. (Images of these pages, just as I have prepared them, appear in the appendix.) I will refer to them as I explain my particular methods. Consider, also, a second question: How do I want my audience to think differently and then respond after my sermon or speech? The answer becomes your objective. Ideally, you want to begin your preparation with the answers to these two questions in mind so your objective can guide the rest of your preparation.
