PREACHING CAREFULLY

In the early church, the pastor was called to be a “shepherd of souls,” a role which included both preaching and caring. But after the Reformation, those roles were often separated, with the titles “pastor” and “preacher” referring to separate tasks of ministry. Since true preaching is always pastoral, this course will help those who speak on Sunday mornings learn how to reclaim being a “shepherd of souls.”
