Preaching the Word of God is a holy and divine calling. When people assemble to hear someone preach the Word of God that is a divine appointment. God has placed the people in that place at His appointed time to hear His Word from the preacher. Preachers called to preach search for what God wants them to say to His people from His Word. Preachers ask God: “What word do you want me to speak to transform your people into the image of your Son Jesus Christ? How can pastors illuminate the vast truths of God’s Word?
Pray and Prepare
• All preaching starts with prayer for guidance and direction to illuminate God’s Word.
• Decide whether you want to address a topic, book, a passage or a specific verse.
• Trust your POSB for a verse-by-verse outline including content assimilated from over 200 commentaries, Bible and language sources.
• Using your POSB, access your desired text by book of the Bible or use the Master Subject Index.
Read and Study
• Read the Scripture verse/passage and refer to the outline as follows:
• Refer to the Subject Heading.
• Refer to the Subject Heading and then the Major Points of the text.
• Refer to the Subject Heading, Major Points, and then the Sub-Points of the text.
• Read the Commentary then pray, think, read it again, think some more, pray again.
Pray and Preach
• Pray and reflect on the most effective way to make your message from the Lord compelling and memorable.
• Close your message by giving ways to apply the Word of God–sometimes referred to as a call to action or walking points

On April 1, 2014, Leadership Ministries Worldwide (LMW) announced that Dave Worland would be the organization’s new President and CEO. Prior to joining the LMW team, Dave served for 15 years as the Executive Vice President for the National Christian Foundation.

“Dave’s unique skill sets, extensive management experience in the non-profit sector coupled with his financial acumen, make him the right person as we continue to move forward at LMW,” said Richard Bethea, LMW Board Chairman.

Dave and Sally, his wife of 30 years, are the proud parents of four married children (two sons and two daughters), one grandchild with another due this October.

In the last 90 days Dave has worked closely with the board to align LMW’s purpose, mission, vision and strategic goal. The “strategic goal” is a God-sized opportunity. LMW intends to place Outline Bible Resources in the hands of one million leaders and equip them to present the life changing Gospel to millions more.

Recently Dave outlined his operational priorities and projects for LMW which included a stronger emphasis on establishing new channels and networks for the sale of our signature resource POSB as well as our other resources. To that end, LMW is finalizing negotiations with LOGOS, a company that provides on-line access to books and libraries for pastors, teachers, scholars and seminary students.

Dave is also shepherding LMW with other priorities including a renewed emphasis on sales and marketing materials, increased customer communication through our newsletter, The Expositor, updating the servers and computers, realigning the international strategies, conducting a pilot project for a new and potentially more efficient way to translate our materials, and making preparation for banquets this fall in Florence, SC and Chattanooga, TN
