| 0:00.0 | This is the on preaching podcast with H.B. Charles Jr. The podcast dedicated to helping you preach |
| 0:15.6 | faithfully, clearly, and better. Good day and thanks for listening to the podcast in this episode i want to talk to you |
| 0:28.3 | about 10 ways to conclude a sermon nope this podcast episode is not about 10 different conclusions in the same sermon, but 10 different ways you can conclude the one sermon. |
| 0:48.9 | So of course, if you are a person who travels by plane you know that the most important parts of the flight |
| 0:59.9 | are the takeoff and the landing once you kind of start cruising at whatever altitude is set |
| 1:09.0 | things are usually safe and stable the challenge of air travel |
| 1:16.0 | usually arises if there's an issue at take off and landing sometimes after I have |
| 1:25.8 | traveled somewhere and arrived there making small talk someone |
| 1:30.7 | asked me how was your flight and I have a couple of answers the first my typical |
| 1:38.0 | answer is just to say it is uneventful that's how you want your airplane flights to be right |

| 2:10.9 | analysis is did that plane land safely i trust you catch the parallels with sermons. Two important parts of any |
| 2:22.6 | sermon is the take off and the landing. I am a traditional homiletician in that I believe that a sermon |
| 2:31.5 | should be a complete unit. Even if you are dividing the idea or the text in |
| 2:40.1 | multiple parts, I think, I think a sermon shouldn't be just a continuation of last week's ideas. I think effective preaching has an introduction, |
| 2:58.3 | a main body, and a conclusion, and of course, transitional elements that link those parts |
| 3:06.9 | together. And it really does matter how you start the sermon you want to |
| 3:13.5 | grab attention immediately and effectively Stephen Ofert used to say that there's a twofold |
| 3:22.4 | agenda of the introduction. |
| 3:24.7 | You want to state the background of the text and the burden of the message. |
