Application in preaching is harder than it seems. Haddon Robinson, author of [*Biblical Preaching*](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0801049121/ref=as%5Fli%5Fqf%5Fsp%5Fasin%5Fil%5Ftl?ie=UTF8&tag=dashhouse-20&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0801049121&linkId=ff1038b30f8e408c3ad38880401f737b&ref=dashhouse.com), comments, “More heresy is preached in application than in Bible exegesis.”

Yet application isn’t optional. If we preach a text, but fail to apply it to life, we’ve failed in our assignment as preachers.

I’ve written a short primer on preaching application for a workshop I’m leading today. It’s a quick primer on the steps that we must take if we’re to apply the text in a way that’s both biblical and helpful. It includes:

- two steps to take in studying the text
- two steps to take in evaluating your congregation
- the three questions that your congregation will ask
- how to apply the text to different kinds of people in your congregation
- the importance of changing people on the spot while preaching

It also includes a checklist you can use to review your application before you preach.

*Preaching Application* is available for download at no cost (with email opt-in). I hope it’s helpful. I’d love to hear what you think.
