All messages should contain the following points:
1. It must glorify God;
2. It must point to the Gospel of Jesus Christ;
3. It must meet the needs of the listeners.
Basis of point 1:
1 Corinthians 10:31 KJV
Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
Basis of point 2:
2 Timothy 4:2 KJV
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
Basis of point 3:
Philippians 4:19 KJV
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Sometimes, it is difficult to know what your listeners's needs (point 3). This is where all preachers must heed the Holy Spirit's prompting. But if you can do the first two points, you meet two-thirds of the aims.
