    This document provides guidance on building a great sermon. It discusses that preaching requires hard work. There are two types of message outlines: explanatory and topical. When writing a sermon, the preacher should answer four questions: what is the goal, what is the context, what is the text, and what is the main point. A sermon generally has five parts: introduction, background, explanation, application, and conclusion. The document then provides a framework for structuring the message around three boxes: the introduction, the main content with several elements, and a conclusion that helps people respond.
