Abstract

The purpose of this project is to enhance my strategic preaching skills to motivate Tennessee Baptist believers to pursue ongoing leader development. My project utilized the Preaching Skills Enhancement Model found in the DMin Handbook at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. The project was completed in three phases: research, writing, and preaching. During the first phase of the project, I researched biblical leadership concepts to identify best practices. The research phase produced an annotated bibliography of selected works in the field of leadership and an executive summary of selected biblical leadership concepts. Dr. Ray Van Neste evaluated both the annotated bibliography and the executive summary. During the second phase of the project, I developed a five-part sermon series to teach on God’s design for leadership. During the final phase, I preached the sermon series at Summertown Baptist Church, Summertown, Tennessee. Two expert preaching evaluators evaluated the sermon series. Additionally, congregational feedback was received to demonstrate the effectiveness of the sermon series to inspire Tennessee Baptists to pursue ongoing leader development.
