The Preaching Lab: The Theory and Practice of Illustrations and Application
The Preaching Lab presented by Clif Johnson, host of The Preaching Lab Podcast and pastor of Garrett Memorial Baptist Church in Hope, Arkansas. This will be a continuation of last year's workshop. Clif says, "We all know that telling stories is not preaching, but sometimes preaching includes telling stories. And we also know that application not grounded in a grammatical, redemptive-historical understanding of the meaning of the text is unhealthy preaching. In this seminar, we will seek to sharpen these two tools that help build a biblical sermon."

​When: August 13, 2024
Where: Heritage Baptist Church, 1000 Butcher Road, Waxahachie, Texas
Time: 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

SENT TO THE NATIONS
Saved people are SENT people. God’s people being SENT is God’s plan to reach the nations. We are SENT to make His glory and love known to every nation, tribe, language, and people.
 
The need is urgent.

• 5 billion people are lost and separated from Jesus.
  
• 2.5 billion people have never heard the gospel.
  
• 150,000 people will die today and spend eternity in hell.
