Peter Jonker will consider particularly how finding a controlling image is a powerful tool for propelling a sermon forward and for speaking to the listener’s imagination. Mary Hulst will help preachers recover basic tools that will keep sermons from going off the rails (and how to put them back on the rails in case things start going bad on any given week!). This seminar will be practical and focused on the wonderful, if challenging, task of proclaiming God’s Word to God’s people.
Participants: Mary Hulst and Peter Jonker, moderated by Scott Hoezee
