We are coming back on HMA this summer, and so I will be preaching a number of times. Someone had recommended Dennis Prutow's So Pastor, What's Your Point a while back, and so I've been reading it just to get me thinking again as I plan new sermons for our time in the States.
Any thoughts on the book? In particular, I'm interested in thoughts on his approach to outlining. I.e., he recommends a sequential, full-sentence outline which usually encompasses 5-6 sermon moves, rather than a traditional outline with main points and sub points. His argument is that a sequential outline works much better orally as it provides natural episodes for the ear to pick out rather than ethereal points which work better in a printed medium. I'm curious if anyone uses his approach or doesn't but has thoughts about it.
