Why is teaching lay people about preaching important.
1. Ephesians 4:12-13 it says that it is our task to equip the followers of Jesus for ministry. God gives a wide variety of people the gift of preaching.
2. It is healthy for a congregation to hear a wide variety of preachers who can be used by God to bring the message. Any congregation has people who have varied learning styles and a wide range of preachers can be uplifting and helpful.
3. Lay preachers can become vital leaders in a congregation.
4. Lay preachers come with a different perspective on ministry and their voice is a blessing.
5. Lay preachers are wonderful resources when a called pastor is on vacation, at a church conference, away for Continuing Education, a family emergency or is ill.
Class Schedule will include:
Why do we preach? How do we decide what to focus on? What is the goal of a sermon? How do I craft a sermon? What are the many forms that sermons can take? Each person will record a 3-5 minute sermon and record it to show to the class and get applause and helpful comments.
