Seminary Now Releases Course On Courageous Preaching |
|
Is preaching still relevant and important today? |
|
|
We’re so excited to share a new streaming video course on Courageous Preaching now available at Seminary Now!
Northern’s own president William Shiell, professor Marshall Hatch, and Tracey Bianchi bring a wealth of preaching experiences and cultural competencies to explore how preaching must adapt to meet the demands of our world and our churches today.
Teaching God’s Word with conviction has been essential to every revival in the history of the Church. No matter how long you’ve been in ministry, you’ll notice that a preacher’s role extends beyond the pulpit. Preachers help shed light on the world’s brokenness and exhort individuals to participate in Christ’s love through a variety of means. “Today’s preacher is a: pastor, storyteller, proclaimer, character, narrator, mentor, teacher, prophet, technologist, philanthropist, and reconciler.” In this course, you will dive into these ten characteristics of a bold preacher, and learn how each can lead to life and hope in your community.
This course is primarily for:
- Pastors and church leaders
- Homiletics students
- Those looking into pastoral leadership inside or outside the church context
We deeply believe that all of us will walk away with applications for wherever God has placed us. We invite you to join us on this preaching journey!
