Overview

Preparing and Delivering Christ-Centered Sermons II: Communicating a Theology of Grace (CM152) builds on the theology of grace that runs throughout Scripture and is fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The course describes how to use this hermeneutic to preach redemptive messages that provide hope in Christ in a way moralizing messages cannot. It provides extensive explanation of how to incorporate that redemptive focus into sermon application.
