Description

People come to services, not sermons and go to worship, not to preaching. As the sermon is not the only event in worship and in the life of a congregation, to what must a preacher attend when interpreting biblical texts into the multiple contexts of congregational life? This course explores the various congregational and liturgical circumstances that shape our preaching, including weddings, funerals, congregational and community situations, and the church?s ecclesial seasons for the sake of preaching that is deeply contextual, situational, and meaningful. Prerequisite: PR0510 - Foundations of Biblical Preaching
