Preaching is the primary way God has appointed for the teaching of the truths of His Word. Preaching well done honours 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 fifty years and offers proven and tried 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.

I feel like this course took me on a journey. I can’t express how much I loved this course, and the instructor, Dr. Robinson. I feel changed. By far, the most enjoyable, interesting, and the most educating lecture I’ve taken in my 2+ years with ODBU. Thank you!

I was challenged with a more thoughtful preparation of the message I deliver. Not just provide information but challenging my audience to new levels in their Christian walk through the presentation of the Word, which causes them to see themselves through the word.
