Advanced Preaching Skills

At the core of pastoral ministry is the systematic, expository preaching of the Bible. But it’s not all there is to preaching.

In this unit, students who have basic skills in expository preaching will have an opportunity to deepen and broaden their preaching skills. The unit is very practical and involves preaching sermons on less familiar biblical genres, preparing and delivering topical sermons, and preaching for special occasions like weddings and funerals. Students will explore different theories and theologies of preaching and use these to reveal new insights into their practice, opening up creative possibilities.

This unit is especially helpful is you have completed Introduction to Preaching or Interpreting and Preaching Scripture and now want to dive deeply into the creative adventure of faithful, life-giving preaching.
