  Why is it important to surface a need for your audience right away? Can you think of an example of a speech or sermon you’ve heard that spoke to your needs? How did the speaker accomplish this?

  It is important to surface a need in order to build connection and draw people in to what is being said. I think of a time when the speaker was describing being on a plane and being asked a question that I wanted to also be able to answer. This drew me in and I wanted to hear more.

  When a speaker or minister starts off with a statement or introduction that is difficult to grasp or is not interesting, they lose my attention and I’m not so intrigued about the rest of the speech or sermon.

  “What is your purpose in this life?”

  As the speaker talked about my purpose, he hit hard on my WHY for being on earth. He kept me thinking throughout his speech. By engaging the audience about a need or thought, I believe the audience is more likely to stay focused on the topic.

  1. I’ve heard a sermon from a preacher sound like he was talking directly to me because the situation I was going through in my life connected to what he was saying so it really grabbed my attention sound like he was talking directly to me.

  It will capture their attention. There is a sermon I heard from Prophet Elijah and Prophet Samuel Kakande that actually addressed my needs. I was interested from the start to end to listen to the sermon.
