About the teacher cincluding details about the class:

Heath Pucel: is as an evangelist at Fishermen’s Call and the instructor of the "Keep Your Finger in the Text" (KYFITT) workshops for SFOI.  Heath has been evangelizing in the Green Bay area for 10 year, has led teams at SFOI's Super Bowl Outreach and has been the instructor for KYFITT for 5 years.

This year Heath is teaching Biblical Theology in preaching.

The workshop focus this year will be on "Persuasion & Rhetoric."

Communicating a Biblical text is as crucial as understanding it. We often neglect spending time on this aspect of our preaching.

We will work on sermon preparation and preaching:

• Forming an argument
• Crafting a sermon outline
• Developing applications for our audience
• Illustrating the text
• Tips for sermon delivery

Each participant will apply the principles in the workshop through text and preaching assignments.

Heath describes the goal of his teaching:

"The commitment of studying biblical passages is crucial for faithful exposition in preaching and teaching scripture. It requires a commitment to diligent and thorough examination of the text and a willingness to engage in the hard work rather than relying on the interpretations of others, study notes and commentaries. Although these are useful, they should not be our first resources for study. This approach provides a path to practical, persuasive, powerful preaching. It guards against the pitfalls of misinterpreting or mishandling scripture in order to fit personal beliefs, agendas and theological frameworks. By carefully studying and interpreting the Bible, we discover and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word so we can apply its teachings to our lives first, which leads to preach and teach with greater accuracy and effectiveness."
