  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’s important because we want to get and hopefully keep their attention. Addressing a current need is likely to accomplish that. I’m sure I’ve heard many, but none comes to mind right now.

  It is important because you have about 15 to 20 seconds to grab the attention of the listener. A former Pastor was able to do this well. He would start the sermon off with an attention-grabbing story that captivated the listener, leaving the listener wanting to know how this message from God could improve their life.

    We all have needs and pastors have the challenge of connecting with so many people from various backgrounds and situations. It sounds like your pastor is able to do that!
