Introduction to Jesus-Centered Preaching -- Live Course

Introduction to Jesus-centered Preaching -- live course

More and more churches are discovering the richness that comes when many voices share in proclaiming God’s Word. This course invites both lay leaders and pastors to grow in confidence and skill as communicators of the gospel. Across two interactive days, participants will learn practical tools for discerning God’s message for a particular community and sharing it with clarity, creativity, and conviction. Together we’ll explore how to craft sermons that connect deeply with listeners and inspire faithful response to the good news of Jesus.

Topics include:

• Discerning where a biblical text meets the life of a community
• Identifying and expressing a clear, central message
• Building a sermon structure that carries listeners along
• Capturing and sustaining audience engagement
• Using voice and body effectively
