This unit explores the discipline and practice of preaching: what preaching is and why we do it, how to build a sermon from the biblical text, and how to deliver it with clarity, conviction and dependence on the Holy Spirit. The core lectures are given by Rich Nathan, founding pastor of Vineyard Columbus, with contributions from Aaron Chalmers, Tim Keller, Michael Green and Vineyard pastors from the We Are Vineyard preaching series.

Each session has videos or audio, readings, study notes, a practical exercise, a short voice practice, reflection questions and a self-check quiz. Readings marked Core are the priority; Further reading and Further viewing are there to take you deeper or to help with your assessments. Check your unit description for the readings and tasks required at your level.
