THE MODEL SERMON
Principles of Preaching from the Book of Hebrews
You’re called to be a faithful and effective communicator of God’s Word. But what exactly are the core principles of a “biblical sermon”? Is there a model for us to follow? Or did God leave it up to us—his gospel ambassadors—to figure it out as we go?
REINVIGORATE YOUR PREACHING
It turns out that God did include a blueprint to guide us within the canon of Scripture—the Book of Hebrews. The Model Sermon will not only help you master the major preaching principles found in Hebrews—itself a sermon—but also offers practical steps to immediately apply each to your preaching.
ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES
You'll get a better grasp on the marks of a good sermon, down-to-earth ways to bolster your preaching, and inspiration to keep lifting up the person and work of Jesus Christ!
15 principles as a model for preaching today:
- Getting out of the way
- Showing them Jesus
- Identifying with your people
- Trusting the Holy Spirit
- Making an appeal
- And more

I wish I had this book when I was teaching preaching. This would have been the main textbook for all those classes.

Jeremy draws on the book of Hebrews to present wise, joy-filled guidance on the principles and practice of faithful biblical preaching and teaching. Take up and read-and see Jesus!
PAUL COPAN
Pledger Family Chair of Philosophy and Ethics, Palm Beach Atlantic University (FL)
Grounded in the notion that Scripture not only provides content but also the structure for a sermon, McKeen offers a compelling appeal to see the book of Hebrews itself as a model sermon for today's pastor.
SCOTT MANOR
President and Associate Professor of Historical Theology, Knox Theological Seminary
The broken and weary desperately need sacred truth to navigate through our cultural fog and gospel passion to animate them for missional living. This book will revitalize preachers to that end and I can't think of anything we need more.
