PS201 Expository Preaching I

The art of sermon preparation using text to text application applying the tools of hermeneutics and expository study methods that focuses on the text rather than the story of the text. Expository preaching is a form of preaching that details the meaning of a particular text or passage of Scripture, what the Bible means by what it says. Dr. Corletta J. Vaughn

 

PS 202 Narrative Preaching I

The art and preparation for narrative preaching can also mean that the sermon is not so predictable. The hearer is not given the thesis up front followed by its defense. Rather the listener is taken on a journey through the story of the text through conflict, tension, and eventual resolution. This is often more gripping and memorable.

 

PS203 Prophetic Preaching I

Prophetic preaching is inspired by the Holy Spirit through the means of prophetic revelation.  The word ‘revelation’ in the New Testament Greek, apokalupsis, means ‘an uncovering,’ or ‘disclosure.’ The prophetic gift is employed to make known the thoughts, purpose and intent of God. Dr. Corletta J. Vaughn
