Sermon Analysis Speech Instructions

This speech incorporates aspects of an informative speech, a manuscript speech, and a persuasive speech as described in your textbook. You will be assigned a specific sermon from a PDF. You must reference it in the works cited page and all other sources you use. Format is still MLA! Use a suggested example outline shown in the sermon analysis folder as a guide. You must provide a copy of your speech to me prior to giving it, as always!!

This speech should be 2-3 minutes (no more).

To begin, prepare a brief introduction, including a thesis statement, something like but not necessarily word for word:

“Today, I am presenting biographical information about (your speaker), the relevant context of his sermon, Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God (title of your sermon), a concise meaning with excerpts from that sermon (cited page #), and will close with a personal response” ( a kind of a reflection/meaning or even revelation is communicated to you)

(Transition: Let me begin with a brief biography & background …)

Next, find biographical information about the Christian speaker or writer. You will have to dig to find this information (remember to cite its source under works cited. Discuss any important contexts surrounding the sermon. Use at least 3 of the following about the speaker/author:

Title, if applicable (i.e. Doctor, Pastor, etc.)

Religious affiliation (denomination, position within the church)

Hometown

Approximate age

Length of time as a speaker

Political or historical identity

Any relevant event or date when it was delivered or written

(Transition: I will now present an excerpt from the sermon …)

Present the sermon. (Type out the portion of the sermon that you will use.)

(Transition: Finally, I would like to close with a personal response …)

Write a reflection and/or response. Analyze the speech. Tell us what you think about the issue that is raised. Questions to help you with this include: Do you agree with the speaker? Was it too harsh or on the wrong side of the issue? Was the speaker exactly right and courageous? Did you find the speech to be persuasive? How has this sermon impacted you?

Pay careful attention here. You are not presenting this as a sermon. You are analyzing it and reporting to your audience about it and its meaning. Your time is 2-3 strictly minutes. This speech is worth 18% of your final grade so you would be well served to put in the effort and do an outstanding job!
