Each month this year, a group from Riccarton Community Church and Rutland St Church meet for a Preaching Development course in Christchurch, led by Matt Meek (Riccarton) and Lance Robinson (Rutland St).
From left to right: Matt Meek, Alicia Meek, Emma Robinson, Luke Stedman, Apoorva Doubleday, Lance Robinson, Victor Song, Christy Parry-Jennings, Laura Hewett.
Flowing from the 2024 CCCNZ Langham Preaching Training, these trainees are learning about core convictions around preaching, about observation, illustration and application, about the big idea of a passage and about delighting in God's Word bringing transformation.
There will be practice sessions and feedback from various preaching environments, from youth groups to Sunday mornings.
South Island Enabler Tim Hodge visited the training last night and says, “It's a joy to see churches working together in training to point people to Jesus.”
