Event Details

Jeffrey A.D. Weima, professor of New Testament at Calvin Theological Seminary, will help preachers brush up on the exegetical steps required in moving from the biblical text to a sermon that faithfully expresses its message for the church today.

1 Thessalonians deals with important subjects such as the sanctity of sex, the second coming of Christ, comfort concerning believers who have passed away, models of behavior for church leaders, and much more. The aim of this seminar is to help preachers brush up on the exegetical steps required in moving from the biblical text to a sermon that faithfully expresses its message for the church today.
