It has been 100 years that Christianity arrived in Korea, and the Korean Church has shown extraordinary growth. Where vibrant preaching has met the people’s desire to hear God speak, the church has flourished. Through a mass abundance of sermons and effective preaching the church in Korea has flourished.
For many, preaching is an essential component to the Christians life and ministry, however, the effectiveness of a sermon varies from preacher to preacher. Because of this, two important questions to consider are, “What are the crucial qualities of a Godly sermon?” and “What type of sermons do Christians need to listen to?” To answer this question, this study compared and analyzed the sermons of several widely respected preachers, including Rev. Kwak Sun-Hee, Ok Han-Hum, and Lee Dong-Won.
From a thorough examination of their sermons, this thesis aims to examine what qualities, personal attitudes, preaching philosophies, audience understanding embody a great sermon. Moreover, this study will take these findings and suggest ways preachers can improve their sermons.
Results suggest that first and foremost, effective sermons should be primarily based on the Bible. In contrast, many preachers nowadays give more focus on demonstrating effective presentation skills or attractive hooks to get people’s attention. However, the results of this study suggest that effective sermons reflect God’s will through His Word, rather than through the preacher’s charisma. In addition, a good sermon is able to touch the audience’s deeply because the preacher has a firm grasp of the audience’s emotional, spiritual, and social condition. Even when a sermon is based on God’s Word, it still can be ineffective if the message is not appropriately adapted for the receiving audience. Since a preacher is many respects, a messenger of God’s Word, he should take great care to understand both the will of God and the condition of the souls they are preaching to. To do so will ensure the messenger fulfill his mission, to effectively deliver his vital message from his Lord, and more importantly ensure that it is
well received.
