WORKSHOP 1 Towards Excellence In Bible Preaching: From Predictability To Passion	WORKSHOP 2 Towards Effectiveness in Bible Teaching: From Head To Heart	WORKSHOP 3 Towards Enlightenment in Bible Study: From Drudgery To Delight
SYNOPSIS: "The sermon is predictable, long and boring." The common cry is: "We're not being fed." Many pastors work long and hard on their sermons. They have the unenviable task of preaching to the same flock over the years. How can passion be aflamed to the effective preaching and hearing of God's Word? This workshop offers insightful principles and practical suggestions. It is restricted to pastors who preaches regularly.	SYNOPSIS: How can I teach the Word of God effectively? How do I engage my adult learners so that they really learn? This workshop is for Sunday School superintendents, educators, teachers, cell-group leaders etc. It integrated recent educational research to the task of teaching God's Word, so that transformational learning takes place, From head to heart!	SYNOPSIS: It has often been said that the teacher of the Word must first be a student of it. But how can Christians engage and immerse themselves in the Word with enthusiasm? The first place to start is knowing the vital keys that unlock the Scriptures. This workshop is a hands-on approach to Bible Discovery. It is for any keen student of the Word who wants the joy of discovery. To move from enduring the Word to enjoying it. (Psalm 1:2).
