Some Mark Driscoll advice for preachers:
"Once you have preached a message, let it go and sleep like a Calvinist unless you have something obvious to repent of to your people. Don't listen to your messages over and over, beating yourself up. Passion, courage, and boldness are the keys to speaking that simply cannot exist in those who are too critical of themselves; so lighten up, have fun, and let it fly in Jesus' name. God loves to draw straight lines with crooked sticks, and since our entire job is to make Jesus look good, we should rejoice in our crooked sticks."
Vintage Church, p. 106.

That is brilliant advice. It looks like Vintage Church is going to be my first Driscoll book. We're selling it for pretty cheap at the church bookstore up here right now and it's really flying off the shelves.
It's good to remember not to be self-conscious in presenting the gospel if we are being faithful in pointing to Jesus. Let Jesus be the stumbling block and let us get out of the way.
