114 - Sola Scriptura - The Authority Of Scripture
As preachers of the Bible, we must never forget that the Bible is our final authority for all matters of faith and practice. We are not to preach our opinions or the opinions of others, echo the flawed teaching of other men, or allow our church traditions to assume a place more important than the Bible.
To understand this better, we need to examine the doctrine of Sola Scriptura. Sola Scriptura teaches that the Bible is the only authority we have. The Bible rules our preaching, living, and every aspect of the church.
I discuss the doctrine of Sola Scriptura in this episode. Let me know what you think.

113 - A Simple Introduction To Bible Study
In this episode, I give a simple introduction to Bible study—Bible study pared down to its most simple terms. Perhaps you have advanced far beyond this most straightforward method. That is good, but plenty of people are still learning how to study their Bibles. Even if you are an advanced Bible student, listen to the episode and share this method with those getting started. May God bless your studies for his glory.

112 - Tips For Effective Preaching
In this episode, we will discuss Some Tips for Effective Preaching. We all want our preaching to be better, and it can be. If we put in the effort God will bless our preaching for his glory. I will deal with the points listed below. I pray this episode will be a help to you in your preaching ministry.
Study the Word
Memorize scripture
* God’s Word will not return to Him void (Isaiah 55:10-11).
* The Word is sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).
* God watches over and hastens His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12).
* He honors His Word above His name (Psalm 138:2).
* God’s Word is sent out through us to bring healing and deliverance into the lives of His people (Psalms 107:20).
* God anoints His Word and through it breaks every yoke of bondage (Isaiah 10:27 ).
* God promises the Holy Spirit will “bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever He has said unto us” (John 14:26). We must, however, put in the time and effort to know what God’s Word says.
Depend upon the Lord
Have an experience with the cross
Have a sound support system
Use your voice well
Be informative
Preach sound doctrine
Reading
Exhortation
Get to the point
If God has called you to preach the Word of God, don’t quit! He will prosper your work and ministry in due season.

111 - The Preacher's Secret Weapon
What is the most important tool the preacher has? What will give him more power with people, a more significant listenership, greater respect and standing among the congregation, shelter him when the enemies of truth attack him and help him maintain all the relationships in his life with grace? What is the preacher’s secret weapon? Does such a weapon even exist? If it does, it must be hard to find or more expensive than most preachers can afford.
What if I told you that the preacher’s secret is free and available to every preacher, regardless of who he is, what kind of personality he has, where he ministers, how he preachers, his level of education, his ability to craft powerful sermons or anything else you can name. What if I told you your secret weapon is something you already have? What if I told you that you have more of this one thing than you have of anything? Indeed, you are fabulously wealthy with this secret weapon. All you have to do is learn to use it. All you have to do is let it out, and no matter how much of the secret weapon you use, you will never have any less of it.
Do you want to know what this secret weapon is? Listen to this episode and find out what I believe is The Preacher's Secret Weapon

Customer Reviews
Its like a extensive workshop, Great
Just started listening. Been through the first 5 episodes. Alan's personality makes it easy to listen. He is clear and concise in his coverage of preaching. It feels like I am back in college sitting in on a Homiletics class with a very good professor.
An Excellent Podcast From An Excellent Preacher!
I have known brother Alan Carr for years. In the time that I have know him, brother Alan has given me excellent advice about preaching, doctrine, and life decisions. In fact, it was largely due to brother Carr’s advice that I decided to pursue further education for ministry. When I have been treated poorly in ministry, I have reached out to Dr. Carr. When a doctrinal question has been nagging me, I have picked his brain. When it comes time to hold a revival service, I often call him. Through the years, I have seen many preachers go into his homiletics class as loose cannons and come out as some of the best preachers that I know. Even though the Lord has blessed me to be able to attend The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary for my masters and doctorate degrees, I have still regretted that my work schedule has hindered me from attending Dr. Carr’s classes. Fortunately for both myself and other preachers of Jesus Christ, this distinguished professor of preaching is now making the material he has a Collected and arranged over a long career available to the world through this podcast. If you are reading this review, I sincerely hope that you will give this podcast a try and be blessed by Dr. Carr as I have been.
Very helpful!
I love how he makes his information relatable to everyone! I really feel like he’s always prepared and ready to present his info!
