Preaching To Be Heard Workshop with Lucas O'Neill - Session 1 of 4

/
This is a 4 part workshop series that covers some of the concepts in the book “Preaching to be Heard” by Lucas O’Neill. If you are in South Florida, it would be my honor to give this book to you as a gift. I preached my first Sunday message at the Sunday night service of my church at age 17. I preached some messages on mission trips and youth group even younger. Almost 30 years later, I noticed I was getting sloppy in my preparation of the message. This book was a great refresher and the approach of using tension in the passage of Scripture to capture and keep attention has been a very effective tool for me. I am still growing in its implementation but am very thankful to Pastor, Professor and author Lucas O’Neil in sharing this workshop.
