1. The document discusses the preparation and content of sermons, citing several quotes from Ellen G. White. It emphasizes that the preacher must be personally prepared through surrender to the Holy Spirit. 2. The content of sermons should be biblical, Christ-centered, and focus on salvation through Christ. Appropriate illustrations should be used to explain scripture, not belittle its sacredness. 3. Sermons should be delivered in simple language with sincerity. They should be short rather than long and labored discourses. Proper exegesis and interpretation of the Bible is important in structuring sermons.

Kutipan-kutipan
Ellen G. White

2. I. Kesiapan Pribadi Pengkhotbah
a) Jika Pengkhotbah itu berserah, Roh
Kudus akan berbicara melalui setiap
khotbah dan menjadikan Efektif
GW 155
b) Ada bahaya dimana pengkhotbah
mengaku percaya kebenaran zaman ini
akan merasa puas dengan menyatakan
teori saja, sementara jiwa mereka sendiri
tidak merasakan kuasa penyucian firman
itu. Ada yang tidak memiliki kasih Allah
didalam hati yang melembutkan,
membentuk, dan memuliakan kehidupan
mereka
4T 526

3. II. Isi Khotbah
a) Bliblical
1. Berkhotbah yang berbunga-bunga tidak akan cukup
untuk memberi makan jiwa anak-anak Allah yang sangat
Lapar
RH June 23, 1891
2. well educated shepherds may still not feed their flock if
they do not consider the excellencies of scripture
1SM 15

4. b) Christ Centered
1. Study, and Learn of Jesus,- The minister of the
gospel is never exhorted to strive to be a smart
preacher, a popular speaker, but is
commanded to “study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of
truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for
they will increase unto more ungodliness” .
Will every messenger of God give heed to
these words? We are laborers together with
God, and if those who accept the responsibility
of holding forth the Word of life to others do
not daily yoke up with Christ, and lift His
burdens, and learn of Jesus day by day; it were
better for them to seek some other
employment
TDG 119

5. 2. Study the Character of Christ,-The living water may be drawn
from the fountain and yet there is no diminution of the supply.
Ministers of the gospel would be powerful men if they set the
Lord always before them and devoted their time to the study of
His adorable character. If they did this, there would be no
apostasies, there would be none separated from the conference
because they have, by their licentious practices, disgraced the
cause of God and put Jesus to an open shame. The powers of
every minister of the gospel should be employed to educate the
believing churches to receive Christ by faith as their personal
Saviour, to take Him into their very lives and make Him their
Pattern to learn of Jesus, believe in Jesus, and exalt Jesus. The
minister should himself dwell on the character of Christ. He
should ponder the truth, and meditate upon the mysteries of
redemption, especially the mediatorial work of Christ for this
time.
3SM 187

6. 3. Salvation through Christ is to be the Burden of every
sermon,-The science of salvation is to be the burden of
every sermon, the theme of every song. Let it be poured
forth in every supplication. Let nothing be brought into the
preaching of the Word to supplement Christ, the Word and
power of God. Let His name, the only name given under
heaven whereby we may be saved, be exalted in every
discourse, and from Sabbath to Sabbath let the trumpet of
the watchmen give a certain sound. Christ is the science
and eloquence of the gospel, and His ministers are to hold
forth the Word of life, presenting hope to the penitent,
peace to the troubled and desponding, and grace and
completeness and strength to the believing.—Manuscript
107, 1898. VSS 337.1

7. 4. The True Preacher lift up Jesus as the sinners is the
only hope,--If the man who feels that he is called of
God to be a minister will humble himself and learn
of Christ, he will become a true preacher. If his lips
are touched with a live coal from the altar, he will
lift up Jesus as the sinner’s only hope. When the
heart of the speaker is sanctified through the truth,
his words will be living realities to himself and to
others. Those who hear him will know that he has
been with God, and has drawn near to him in
fervent, effectual prayer. The Holy Spirit has fallen
upon him, his soul has felt the vital, heavenly fire,
and he is able to compare spiritual things with
spiritual. Power will be given him to tear down the
strongholds of Satan. Hearts will be broken by his
presentation of the love of God, and many will
inquire. “What must I do to be saved?”
RH Apr. 15, 1902

8. II. Ilustrasi
a) Inappropriate Illustrations
1. We do not want to lose sight of the
peculiar sacredness of this mission of
ministering in word and in doctrine to
the people. It is the work of the
minister to speak the words of truth to
the people, solemn, sacred truth. Some
form the habit of relating anecdotes in
their discourses, which have a tendency
to amuse and remove from the mind of
the hearer the sacredness of the word
which they are handling. Such should
consider that they are not giving to the
people the word of the Lord. Too many
illustrations do not have a correct
influence; they belittle the sacred
dignity that should ever be maintained
in the presentation of the word of God
to the people.
RH Feb 22, 1887

9. III. Delivery
a) Words
in simple language, with touching earnestness,
present the truth as it is in Jesus
1 SM 157
b) Length
Let the message for this time be presented, not in
long, labored discourses, but in short
GW 167.5
