Session 1
Overview & Introduction

In our first session, a Divine Renovation Coach will introduce preachers to the preaching process and discuss the four areas of focus in this workshop. Discussing how preachers unpack Scripture, structure and focus the message, apply the message, and present the homily, preachers will then be prepared to review and critique homilies based on the four areas of the workshop. As a result, preachers will begin to think about the different parts of a homily, how it is developed, and how it is delivered. These efforts establish the foundation on which preachers will begin to form missional homilies. 

Practical Steps to Creating a Great Missional Message

Here is your brief overview of the process to making a great missional message:

Making sense of scripture
A prayerful study of scripture to discern what God is saying to me. 

Message simplicity & structure
Building your homily around one simple message. Using a structure around your message to call people into action.

Message delivery
We’ll work on your communication and style in Session 4 before taking a four-week break. We’ll return after the four weeks for the last session to discuss your learnings.
