Theocentric Preaching Seminar
If you are reading this, you are invited to attend a seminar I’m doing as part of my D.Min. program. It would be fun to have you there, and I’d love to get your ideas. Here’s the scoop:
Theocentric Preaching
A Practical Seminar for Pastors
Most preachers understand that good preaching connects with people’s needs. While addressing people’s needs is good, there is a corresponding danger: to make the sermon about us rather than about God. A desire to be relevant can lead to anthropocentric sermons that provide answers to life’s dilemmas, meet the questions, issues, and needs of the moment, but miss the bigger picture.
Join us for a seminar that will explore how to preach theocentrically. We’ll cover:
- What is theocentric preaching?
- What is the difference between theocentric and anthropocentric preaching?
- Why should we preach theocentrically?
- How does a preacher prepare theocentric sermons that are relevant?

[...] First of all, I started at DashHouse.com where Darryl had just attended the Theocentric Preaching Seminar. He included a link to the seminar notebook which is pure gold. The Theocentric Preaching blog further links the Dying Church blog which seems like another rich source of commentary on this and other similar issues regarding how we do church today. [...]
