This is the third and final episode with Murray Capill on how to preach application. In this episode we discuss several listener questions:
· How can we preach application when we are struggling to apply some parts of Scripture ourselves?
· How do we preach to people who are all at different stages of spiritual growth?
· Is it better to leave application to the end or can we revisit it throughout the sermon?
· What are the advantages and dangers of knowing the people that we are preaching to?
· Is the goal of application to change behaviour or to change the affections? Should the goal of the sermon be to lead people to worship or to tell people what to do?
· Was Jesus someone who preached practical application? How specific should practical application be when we can’t even know everyone’s situation? What is the Spirit’s role in the individual’s life in applying the text to people?
· Is the lack of preaching to the heart, a reason why sermons can tend to be so boring?
· How much should time be given toward application without comprising on biblical exegesis and teaching? How can I become more concerned about the people I preach than about how good my sermon is?
