Preaching error #1: preach just in order to explain the content of scripture, thinking that by doing this you are “teaching people how to read the Bible”.
Preaching error #2: preach in a way which is overly anthropocentric, meeting the congregation’s needs as only the congregation sees them. This is nothing more than a baptized episode of Dr Phil.
A better approach: apply divine scripture to the hopes and aspirations of those who have gathered together, allowing God to form and mould those hopes and aspirations to be those which he wants them to have.
