Homiletics (The Art of Preaching and Teaching)
Course taught by: Pastor Vincent Sawyer

I. WHAT IS A PREACHER?

He is a herald or proclaimer of God's message.

Every pastor is a preacher, but not every preacher is a pastor.

An evangelist (gospelizer) is a preacher.

A layman can preach
(EX: Stephen the deacon preached - Acts 7; Philip the deacon preached - cp. Acts 8:5).

-- Examples:

    in Sunday school
    in a convalescent home
    in a jail ministry
    on a street corner
    to fill the pulpit in absence of the pastor

* Every believer is to "preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

The goal of this course is to train laymen and future pastors to preach and teach God's Word.
