We all want to be better preachers and deliver more powerful sermons. 

We want our sermons to have cohesion. Cohesion is “ the act of cohering, uniting, or sticking together.” We want our sermons to stick. If our sermons are to possess cohesion, they must have three elements: Unity, Order, and Purpose.

  • Unity means a whole or totality, combining all its parts into one.
  • Order is a condition in which each thing is properly disposed of concerning other things and its purpose; it is a systematic or harmonious arrangement.
  • Purpose is an intended or desired result.


In this episode, I will discuss the keyword and the transitional sentence and give you two ways to improve your next sermon. Adding these two elements to your sermon preparation will improve your next sermon.
