On 22 November, a second ‘Certain Sounds Seminar’ was held at Starbeck Mission in Harrogate.
Last year the subject was ‘Basic Public Speaking’ and this year ‘The Fundamentals of Preaching’. Twenty five speakers/preachers or potential speakers/preachers gathered to hear Ron Collard and John Mollitt give papers on the supremacy of preaching in a multi-media society; motivation and inspiration; preparation of self; preparation of material; proclamation and examination.
Discussion followed each session and the seminar ended with a time of open prayer. We were reminded of the wonderful privilege but also the awesome responsibility of publicly proclaiming the Word of God and we trust that all our ministries will be enhanced and deepened through what was shared at the seminar.
