PREACHING WITH VARIETY
It is a sin to bore people with the Bible, so add a little spice to your homiletical stew. The Bible itself is full of variety, and this course approaches the Bible as literature to ask how the form of the text can influence the form of the sermon. Is the text a story, parable, proverb, or poetry? Learn how to handle those genres with variety.
