Course Description
The course serves in the important task of training others to preach the word of God faithfully. The course will offer the steps to follow in order to prepare and present various types of sermons. Course Rationale
Narration
This course is an apprenticeship in preaching. It deals with the need to communicate the word of God. It serves as a springboard to other courses such as evangelism and church growth as well as Biblical interpretation. As much as possible students should have a deep understanding of the theories of preaching, as well as to know how to communicate effectively. They should also master methods of teaching and rhetoric (the art of oral argument).
This course aims to meet certain competencies and aspects of character development in the student. The mission of the Church of the Nazarene demands a solid preaching of the Gospel. What is this mission? It is to go and make disciples of all nations. I twill take into account the Old and New Testaments that are divinely inspired and relevant to today’s world.
All the activities of this course will instruct students in how to communicate to the groups they preach to in their cultural context and audience’s level of education. This course will permit students to establish a biblical base for the other readings. The importance of reading the assigned texts can not be understated. Serious students will apply themselves so that their local church can depend on them.
