Three Challenging Words for Preaching

There are three words I always try to remember when I am preaching a sermon series. 
They are words you must wrestle with in sermon preparation, especially in longer sermon series. Each word comes from my experience and various preaching workshops I have attended through the years. There is nothing easy about preaching. It takes both work and time. Each week I do my best to be prepared to present God’s word. There is no excuse for not being prepared. These three words help me to be prepared. Each word comes with its own challenge. 

The first word is attractive. 
The second word is accountable. 
The third word is action.                      -- Russ Adams --
