More Details

People in churches today are hungry for a word from God. Preachers need to prepare and deliver sound biblical sermons that connect with their audiences in a meaningful way. Whether you are a student new to preaching or a veteran looking to brush up your preaching skills, the Preaching God’s Word course is a valuable learning opportunity.

Good preaching begins with good exegesis. This course is supported by the popular textbook Preaching God's Word authored by Terry Carter, Scott Duvall, and Daniel Hays. All course material—video lectures, readings, key concept reviews, and quizzes—walk you through the steps of the “Interpretive Journey” from the biblical text to contemporary application.

Yet the science of solid biblical interpretation must also be married to the art of contemporary communication in order to bring the message home. Carter, Duvall, and Hays also show how to understand your audience, develop powerful applications, use illustrations well, and deliver sermons effectively. The concluding units discuss unique preaching challenges presented by various biblical genres, providing interpretive keys, things to avoid, and numerous examples.
