Whether you are a pastor, small group leader, or Bible study teacher, this series is for you. While most of the language is targeted to the lead pastor of a church, the personal insights and Biblical wisdom shared by Rich Nathan, Don Williams, and David Parker are valuable to anyone seeking to move forward in the call to preach or teach the gospel.

In every session, you will be challenged to look at yourself, your audience, and the message you deliver.

With over 20 years of preaching experience, Rich Nathan addresses the challenges of contemporary audiences: What are they looking for in a sermon? What captures their attention and keeps them engaged with the message? Nathan’s humor in each of his sessions and openness to his own mistakes will encourage and motivate you in your efforts to do the work of an evangelist.

Don Williams’ contagious enthusiasm for teaching overflows as he reveals the significance of preparing yourself to deliver a message that brings the response “I never knew church could be so exciting!” Williams’ presentation of kingdom theology and expository preaching will set your heart on fire with an eagerness to preach the Word of God.

David Parker is passionate about connecting the unconnected with Christ. His hunger to proclaim the message in a deeply personal and relational way will renew your own longing to share the excitement of spiritual discovery with others.

If you share Paul’s sentiment in 1 Corinthians 9:16, “woe to me if I do not preach the gospel,” then let this series fan into flame the gift of God that is in you. The instructors will mentor you through their experiences and guide you to stay committed to the One who has called you and the reason He has called you. Start learning today how to address the challenges of contemporary audiences; how to prepare and deliver a message that generates a response to God’s word; and how to stay committed to your call over the long haul. You and your congregation will be blessed.
