Effective Introduction

Acts 17:22

SUMMARY: Your introduction should arouse interest, identify your subject, and show why your listeners should be interested in it.

HOW TO DO IT:

  • Arouse interest. Select a question, statement, real-life experience, or news item that will be of interest to your listeners.

  • Identify your subject. Make sure that your introduction makes the subject and purpose of your presentation clear to your listeners.

  • Show why the subject is important. Adapt what you say to the practical needs of your listeners. They should clearly understand how the subject can help them personally.
