Transforming lives

At Biblical Preaching Peter Mead offers some sound advice on tightening a message:

When you’re preaching, the clock is ticking. In one setting you may have 20 minutes, in another you may have 45. The reality is, though, that messages expand to fill the time available fairly easily. So it is important to think carefully about what to include. Perhaps more importantly, what to exclude. Where can time be trimmed?

That's a good question, and one that Peter answers quite well.
