This course comprises both Preaching the Old Testament and Preaching the Gospels. Preaching the Old Testament aims to equip you, the learner, in the skills of Old Testament Expository Preaching. The term ‘Expository Preaching’, being one which is frequently used but often misunderstood and misapplied, will be explored. There is also the perennial question of the relevance of the Old Testament to the Christian Life. If expository preaching involves application as well as exegesis, how do we apply the OT to our hearers today? Preaching the Gospels highlights some of the considerations of genre sensitive exposition. The centre of gravity will be the question of textual work rather than topical, though the refinement of the latter is also in view. Emphasis is also laid upon the actual homiletic treatment and public communication. Ongoing discussion will be encouraged regarding not only getting the text ‘right’ but also getting it across. The class will be encouraged in its development of critiquing skills and ability to listen to the whole package. The Biblical and systematic theology must be done blatantly in the study and latently in public, its contours felt as the text is explained and applied. Illustration and application are explored. Only a few texts are chosen and explored rigorously, hopefully stimulating group work beyond the college. Learning Outcomes: At the end of the course you should be able to: • define Expository Preaching and explain its relationship to the other methods of preaching. • prepare and preach expository sermons from Old Testament narrative, poetic, prophetic and wisdom texts. • prepare and preach an evangelistic and a topical sermon from the Old Testament by applying the principles involved in expository preaching • have an intuitive approach to preaching from the gospels • produce an improved sermonic structure (use of David Cook’s pyramid) • understand and articulate the impact of the gospel genre on homiletics • know what to listen for in preaching from the gospels • take off, fly and land the sermon. 3.1.8 Teaching NT to children 3.1.9 Teaching OT to children Credits: 4, each Description: These modules are aimed and helping you to present Biblical teaching simply to children, whilst maintaining the integrity of the passage.
