Our new Strand 5

Helping men & women communicate the point and purpose of God's Word in a clear and engaging way.

What is Strand 5

Strand 5 is designed to equip you with the skills and insights to structure and deliver a message which conveys the biblical author's intent whether you’re speaking to children, youth, or a church service.

We’ll explore key elements of effective expository preaching and through practical exercises and guided feedback, you’ll learn how to write and present a talk/sermon that seeks to communicate all that God intends for his people to hear.

What we'll cover

• Recapping the basics of exegeting a passage to understand its main point and purpose

• Structuring a talk to make it easy to follow and understand

• Applications that take the point and purpose of a passage and go deep and personal

• Understanding your audience/setting, to tailor the message appropriately

• Understanding your voice and how to use this tool well

Who should attend

Strand 5 is open to men and women, church leaders, aspiring preachers, and anyone interested in developing the skills to share God’s word clearly and faithfully.

Whether you’re just beginning, or looking to refine your preaching, Strand 5 provides practical tools to help you communicate effectively.

PLEASE NOTE:
