Free preaching resources

A collection of Dr. Derek Morris’ manuscripts, presentations, and workshops for preachers.

The great preacher Fred Craddock was right when he asserted that “preaching itself is a very complex activity” (Preaching, 16). Take every opportunity to learn. In addition to the free resource materials provided here, I encourage you to take a look at a Powerful Biblical Preaching, the distillation of 15 years of study with some of the greatest preachers in the English-speaking world. There is also a companion DVD which includes a lecture on Effective Delivery.

Keep learning with the clear conviction that God wants you to be a powerful biblical preacher.
