Session 6: Making Your Words Count

Jeff Lasseigne

In Session Six—Making Your Words Count, Pastor Jeff Lasseigne clarifies how to improve on preaching an expository message by choosing words carefully. He recalls the importance of using the guidelines of a four-step format, which includes what the text, says, what the text means, what the text illustrates and what is its application. From introduction, body and conclusion a teacher of the Bible accurately imparts the scriptures just how God intended. For a considerate message teaching God’s people, the Gospel of Salvation a preacher needs Prayer, research, preparation and a blessed passion for God’s Word for God’s Glory.

Session 2: A Theology of Biblical Interpretation

October 20, 2014 • Pastor Brian Nixon

In Session Two—entitled A Theology of Biblical Interpretation, Pastor Brian Nixon teaches from the book of 3 John 1:1-4 describing the importance of what it means to understand what the Bible says about truth and walking in the truth. Preaching God’s Word reveals and communicates God’s truth as the power of the scriptures mold and helps those who listen. Interpreting the Word of God includes studying the Bible as scriptural truth; and as toil working towards truth, and as testimony as a witness of the truth. As the world changes towards a varied concept of truths, it is imperative that each Christian and preacher know the truth of the Bible and share its loving message.
