Presenter: Roger Hahn, Location: MNU
Most (if not all) of us believe we are biblical preachers. In this session Roger states that biblical preaching occurs “whenever preacher allows the text of a Bible passage to shape the purpose and content of a sermon”. It does not a matter of how many times the Bible is quoted, but what is important is how the Bible is understood in our context and experience.

Presenter: Mark Lail, Location: ONU
We live in a financially irresponsible world. Americans are drowning in debt and seemingly don't care. They are also unnaturally attached to their possessions. But the Church's CEO said that, "where your treasure is, there your heart will be also" and He hasn't changed his mind about tithing. This seminar is an exploration of the biblical concepts of stewardship and tithing, and why pastors should preach them.
