Homiletics (27th - 28th June 2020)
Course Description
The focus of this course (compulsory module) is the practical task of preparing a sermon.

This course will help the participant grasp the fundamentals of preaching and the process involved in the making of a sermon. In addition, the participant will explore the ingredients for effective preaching and learn to restore its centrality to worship in the church.
