Preaching is the primary way God has appointed for the teaching of the truths of His Word. Preaching well done honors God, expounds the Bible, and equips its hearers for spiritual growth and fruitful ministry. But, those who preach must make a study of the art. Dr. Haddon Robinson has taught preaching skills for more than five decades and offers tried and proven methods of teaching that have trained many who are either preparing for or are active in various areas of ministry. By focusing on the world of the Bible, the mindset of the expositor, and the development of teachable ideas, Robinson leads the student to the preparation and presentation of effective sermons.

    — Kerwin, United States
  • This course is so well taught, as the teacher almost taught it one-on-one it seems.

    — Donald J, United States
  • This course helped drive home the importance of looking at the message God has intended through a passage, rather than finding a passage to support an idea I have. The format for producing a sermon was also extremely beneficial.

    — Bob, United States
  • The instruction in this course can be applied to any method of communication!
