Abstract

This work is a project based dissertation on teaching lay people expository preaching. This project is written out of the conviction that preaching has fallen on difficult times in this society. Nevertheless, the preaching task remains the primary means of proclaiming God's message to the world. The church must do a better job of utilizing lay people in the task of proclamation and train them to preach the Word in a relevant and interesting way. This project provides a tested ten session curriculum design for instructors desiring to help their lay students preach expositorily. The ten sessions of ninety minutes each deal with essential areas of message preparation. Also included in this project are the theological reflections related to a course for lay preachers and a review of the relevant literature. The material was specifically designed to train lay people at Elisha Preaching Institute, held in Fountain of Joy Prayer Church in Sunnyvale, California, where the writer is pastor. However, it could prove beneficial to all who wish to provide an introductory training program for lay people in the preparation of biblical messages. The fact that non-professionals would be using these materials was given full consideration in the development of the curriculum.
