Transformational Preaching: Engaging With Exodus And The Old Testament, Scott Hoezee, Jeff Manion Jan 2014

Transformational Preaching: Engaging With Exodus And The Old Testament, Scott Hoezee, Jeff Manion

Symposium on Worship Archive

In this seminar Jeff Manion will help preachers explore the art of building a bridge back to the world of the Bible and then bringing the drama back to our generation. Compelling teaching rests on an emotional connection with the characters in the Biblical drama and so the seminar will ponder first “The Power of Connection” and then next how to explore ways to utilize tension in the telling of the biblical narrative in ways that help listeners wonder “What’s at Stake?” in both the biblical story and its implications for our lives today. The seminar will include conversations with …

Go Down, Moses: Spirituals As A Resource For Preaching, Luke A. Powery

Symposium on Worship Archive

The history of African American spirituals is interwoven with the history of preaching, yet these spirituals and their relationship to preaching usually receive little attention. This workshop will explore these spirituals as musical sermons that can serve as a resource for contemporary preaching. In particular, what the spirituals teach us about preaching as social witness will be discussed.


The Sermon On The Mount: Preaching, Teaching, And Living In Righteousness, Kenneth E. Bailey, Cornelius Plantinga Jr., Christine Pohl Jan 2013

The Sermon On The Mount: Preaching, Teaching, And Living In Righteousness, Kenneth E. Bailey, Cornelius Plantinga Jr., Christine Pohl

Symposium on Worship Archive

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount contains some of the most famous verses in Scripture. Even people without a Bible have heard of the golden rule, the Lord’s Prayer, and, possibly, the Beatitudes. Even libertines quote one verse from the Sermon: “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” But the Sermon on the Mount yields its greatest riches when good scholars and teachers dig them up for us and help us estimate their value. Kenneth E. Bailey and Christine Pohl are excellent diggers and their seminar will help participants to understand themes from the Sermon and to consider their …

Redeeming The Time: Homiletic Theology For A Pilgrim People, Michael Pasquarello Ii Jan 2008

Redeeming The Time: Homiletic Theology For A Pilgrim People, Michael Pasquarello Ii

Symposium on Worship Archive

The idea for Redeeming the Time has emerged during more than twenty five years of leading worship according to the rhythms of the Christian Year and preaching from its common lectionary. In following these "traditioned" practices, I have often thought there is need for a fresh understanding of the Christian Year that will demonstrate the theological and pastoral wisdom of ordering a congregation's ministry of the Word and its life by means of the narrative of salvation proclaimed in the liturgical reading and preaching of Scripture.

Who You Are Is How You Are Heard: Personality And Personal Ethics In Preaching, Mary Hulst

Symposium on Worship Archive

The small choices preachers make provide hearers not only with a better understanding of the text, but also with a keen understanding of the preacher. This session invited participants to become self-aware in their own preaching and to improve their "ethics of preaching," or to learn how to listen to the things the preacher isn't saying.


Writing Sermons In An Oral Style, Frederick Dale Bruner, Garth Pauley Jan 2006

Writing Sermons In An Oral Style, Frederick Dale Bruner, Garth Pauley

Symposium on Worship Archive

The rhetorician James Winans once wrote, "A speech is not merely an essay standing on its hind legs." Yet many speakers—including preachers—write their messages in a style better suited for reading rather than hearing. To be an effective oral communicator, one must learn to write for the ear, not the eye.
