About the event
Since God is our teacher and His Word is the content of His teaching, how do we ensure that we are preaching God’s Word and not our words? Do we truly believe in the sufficiency of Scripture to meet our spiritual needs today, or do we merely pay lip service to that concept? Stories make up approximately 40% of the Old Testament. How do we preach these Old Testament stories to our video-saturated culture today? What tools can we use to unlock the truths God wants to teach us from these Old Testament narratives? This seminar will address these questions with biblical and practical principles to help you become a better expositor of God’s Word. You will learn how to preach text-driven messages, unlike much popular preaching today, which is topic-driven. This seminar will equip you with the exegetical tools to help you break down a narrative into its parts and identify the exegetical idea that unifies the story. Each participant will learn a strategy for expressing what God wants to say in the Old Testament narrative so that our people are transformed into Christlikeness by the power of the Spirit.
