Biblical Preaching (Homiletics) (BC-204)

Learn to prepare and deliver the Word of God with power, authenticity, and skill, grounded in intimacy with Christ.

About This Course

The Lord Jesus commissioned every disciple to go into all the world and preach the good news of the gospel to the entire human race. To preach is to proclaim something—we have been called out of darkness into His glorious light to proclaim His virtues.

"Rather than charisma and oratory skill it is the preacher's intimacy with the Lord Jesus and obedience in living the Word before preaching the Word that gives strength and authenticity to the message."

In this course, we will gain a firm understanding of the communication process, the function of language, and the importance of the ministry of the Word. Students will become familiar with different approaches to studying the Word of God, learning various kinds of sermon preparation, sermon outlines, and the practical aspects of preaching.
