The One Thing


422 Preaching to two audiences (Al Stewart)

September 29, 2025

If your preaching only speaks to Christians, you're missing half the room. Al Stewart lays out why preaching to both believers and unbelievers is not optional. It is essential for any church that wants to grow through gospel impact. This is a sharp call to lift your preaching game, build a culture of invitation, and make every sermon count for eternity.

What’s discussed:
• Why preaching should always assume two audiences
• How to critique worldviews without alienating people
• Preaching Psalm 1 to Christians and non-Christians
• How to handle historical books like Chronicles
• The importance of trust for invitation culture
• Practical tips for preparation and next steps
• What small groups can learn from this model


TOOL BOX:

This week we recommend you find your own passage and think about how you’ll apply it to two different audiences

For a great example check out: Preaching by Tim Keller
