How to Study and Preach the Bible

How to Study and Preach the Bible

The church is at its best when the Word of God is taught and preached accurately and with conviction from the dinner table to the pulpit. This need is not only for pastors, but for all congregants who have opportunity to open God’s Word and explain what it means, from mothers and fathers to Sunday School and Life Group leaders. This class aims to help you open the Word of God, accurately explain what it means, show its relevance to the lives of listeners and enable you to urge them to put it into practice in their life. In other words, this is a class about knowing and preaching God’s Word accurately.

Who should take this class? Certainly, men and women who have a desire to teach others. But more broadly, this class is for anyone who wants to grow in knowing and applying God’s Word to their lives, even if they never get the opportunity to teach others.
