This section focuses on sermon preparation — specifically on the strategy of marking the borders of your message. This serves to build a fence around your sermon, helping you stay on target during the process of preparation.

A common problem is sermons that lack an identifiable direction — or sermons that move in too many directions at once.

In this module Steve shows how to “build a fence” around borders of your message as you begin the writing process to ensure that your message will stay on point from start to finish.
