Start Today For $47

Stop wondering if your sermons are actually connecting.

Writing a sermon takes A LOT of work.

If you’re like most, you’ve wondered why some talks seem to stick while others don’t.

Sometimes, you work for hours or days on a message that you know is as extensively researched and accurate as you know how to make it. You preach it and it lands with a thud.

Other times, you whip something together quickly and for some reason, it resonates and has people talking about it months (or even years) after.

What’s with that? And what if you knew, in advance, that your sermon would connect with your audience and inspire life transformation?

The Art of Preaching will give you the confidence and clarity you need to grow your church through your preaching.

  • Inspire life transformation: Learn how to preach sermons that people remember, and still reflect on, years later.
  • Approach the text with faithfulness: Speak to your congregation in a way that connects without watering down your message.
  • Speak with confidence: Ditch your notes, write memorable bottom lines, and cultivate evangelism through your preaching. 
  • Streamline your sermon preparation: Save time by developing a system to write sermons with maximum impact.
  • Real results: Start preaching better sermons as early as this Sunday.

The confidence and clarity that you need to grow your church.

Mark Clark and Carey Nieuwhof founded The Art of Preaching to teach the preaching lessons they so desperately needed. It’s not a magic, silver-bullet solution to all communication problems. Instead, it’s a series of lessons, tips, and strategies that will make your preaching better—from preparation to delivery. 

Ready to create, write, and deliver better sermons? Then it’s time to implement this step-by-step game plan to do exactly that.

Join 2,500+ pastors delivering better sermons with The Art of Preaching.

“This has given me access to so much material and other leaders that I would have never been able to talk to. It’s been especially helpful to have connected in person with another member that lives nearby. That connection would not have likely happened any other way.

We leveraged so many of the pieces taught here. Most notably with communication and the principles to better connect with the audience I’m speaking to. I’m still working on it but it’s more a huge difference.

I’ve also taken the leap (since Christmas) to go no notes and speak only using a confidence monitor.”

Chris Laws

“I am not sure I would be able to do what I am doing in ministry without this group.

Since implementing the materials, I’ve received more positive comments about my sermons than ever before.”
