What is a Sermon? Stories from a Life of Preaching

Thursday, April 16, 2026 • Duration 58:25

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson pull out some stories of preaching to illustrate an important point: what is a sermon? There are many bad ideas about what constitutes good preaching, and they are all too influential. This episode uses some amusing moments from Paulson's career as a preacher to show how a sermon must give the two words of God, law and gospel, in the proper form: to you, and for you.

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss some of Christ's early healings and exorcisms from the Gospel of Mark.

Mark 1:21-28 – Epiphany 4 (B)

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 56:48

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss one of Christ's first acts in his ministry career. Taking his disciples with him, Jesus enters the synagogue and heals a man being tormented by an unclean spirit. From this text we see what happens when the gospel comes in contact with what is unclean and unholy: in the place of impurity according to the law, the gospel gives the Holy Spirit, and therefore salvation.

Monday, January 15, 2024 • Duration 40:19

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the calling of the disciples to become fishers of men. We learn how the calling of Christ involves the presence of the kingdom of God, not as something far away but something that is present in the preaching of the gospel. The kingdom isn't something that the gospel points to, but something the gospel gives.

Monday, January 8, 2024 • Duration 43:29

On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss Christ's calling of his disciples, Philip and Nathaniel. Here we see the distinction between the various ordinary callings of human life in the world and our calling by Christ to salvation. With the call of Christ, he is the one who sees, calls, and finds us – and so in Christ's call we find our election and predestination to salvation.
