Powerful words Jason! Thanks! Gerhard Forde and Jim Nestigen taught this to us for what makes a Christian sermon:
"Christ Jesus is the subject of all the verbs. The hearer is the direct object. The hearer is the beneficiary. When the Gospel is spoken it is unconditional. When the Gospel is spoken it is present tense. The Gospel comes out of the future into the present."
