What Is A Topical Sermon?

A topical sermon is a sermon developed from a bibical principle.

In Philippians 2:1-4, you will find the biblical principle of unity. In this passage of Scripture, the apostle Paul encourages the Christians at Philippi to dwell together in harmony.

You now have a topic you can preach. Dwelling Together In Harmony!

The apostle Paul informs the Christians at Philippi HOW they can dwell together in harmony. The HOW question gives you three sub-points. (1) Having a unity of focus, (2) having a unity of thought, and (3) having a unity of purpose.

You now have a preaching topic with three sub-points. Your sub-points flow from, expand and explain your preaching topic.

Your topical sermon now looks like this. There are three principles to help Christians dwell together in harmony. They are...

  • Having a unity of focus (2:1)
  • Having a unity of thought (2:2)
  • Having a unity of purpose (2:3-4)

How To Write A Topical Sermon

In the topical sermon above, you have a preaching topic with three sub-points.

You have linked the preaching topic with the three sub-points by using the HINGE word principles. The hinge word must be a plural noun.

Next you draw out any incidental sub-points that flow from, explain, or expand the major sub-points.
