Theme: Preaching: The Art of Narrative Exposition
Time: 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. (Registration 9 a.m.)
Location: To be determined based on attendance



About the Seminar:
Pastors want to connect to an unchurched and younger society more attuned to lively dialogue and visual images.  Yet at the same time they want to offer expositional preaching that helps those listening understand the deeper truths of the Bible. The challenge of contemporary preaching is packaging a message that holds the attention and touches the hearts of those who listen - while offering biblical substance in the process.

Calvin Miller, who has preached and equipped preachers for decades, will offer helpful insights for pastors to deliver the heart of the gospel via the Jesus-endorsed vessel of compelling storytelling- this is known as the art of narrative expositional preaching.
