PASTORAL MINISTRY AND EVANGELISM How the Christian message can effectively be implemented is a problem which faces leaders, teachers, pastors, evangelists, and counselors in all phases of their distinctive ministries. The purpose of this department is to help students solve that problem. Three principles undergird all the courses: The church is the primary agent in the program of Christian outreach and nurture, there is no dichotomy between the thorough mastery of technique and prayerful reliance on the Holy Spirit, and edification must follow evangelism and mission. HOM 500 Introduction to Expository Preaching Provides students with both instruction and practice in the discipline of expository preaching. Students are introduced to the exegetical and homiletical steps involved in the exposition of New Testament texts with a goal of initiating students in the practice of preaching the Bible in a clear and relevant fashion. Offered fall and spring semesters. Two or three hours. HOM 701 Expository Preaching of Old Testament Texts Linking Hebrew exegesis with the exposition of the Old Testament, the instruction in this course focuses on the exegesis of different types of Old Testament literature and the preparation of relevant expository sermons from those texts.
