- Abstract
- The purpose of this thesis was to prepare a curriculum for training laymen to prepare a biblical message. The material was specifically designed to train laymen at Trinity Baptist Church in Ocala, Florida where the writer is pastor. It is adaptable, however. One of the major goals of the curriculum was to be more practical than technical. This thesis is written out of the conviction that preaching has fallen on difficult times in a secular, media-saturated 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 teach and apply God's Word in a relevant and interesting way. This two hour, ten session curriculum provides a workable tool to meet this need. The emphasis is expository preaching evolving from inductive Bible study. Theological and biblical foundations are given in support of expository preaching. A literature review is included to support the important elements related to the study and preparation of a biblical message and to provide further information and resources for trainers who might use these materials. The bulk of the thesis is the training manual and accompanying student manual which provides everything needed for trainers to teach and trainees to acquire the skills to prepare a biblical message.
