About the Event
Session 1 - Authority and the Preacher
What is our authority in preaching? How does that affect the life changing power of a sermon?
How can we keep our preaching faithful to scripture? What can make this difficult? What issues in Bible interpretation should we be aware of?
How do we make space for the Holy Spirit to work in the act of preaching?
