Preaching to one congregation for two decades or more is a joy for pastors! But it also comes with many challenges for preaching. Such challenges include maintaining love for and from a congregation, avoiding becoming familiar, predictable, or gun shy, finding fresh illustrations, sustaining zeal and a sense of urgency, adapting to generational changes, and keeping oneself refreshed. What goes into the character of the preacher and the habits of the pulpit calendar to build saints faithfully, lovingly, and graciously, week in and week out, after twenty years of preaching from one pulpit? Join Rev. Romell Williams, Senior Pastor of Lilydale Progressive Missionary Baptist Church, to hear from one whose passion for dynamic, content-rich, Christ-centered preaching continues to increase as he crosses his twentieth year serving his flock.

MTS Professors Aaron Robinson, Tom Roberts, and Eric Redmond will bring their Johannine scholarship and wealth of experience as present and former seniors pastors to draw out the meaning and significance of passages in Revelation. Building upon their academic research and teaching, and their preaching of the Apocalypse, they will explain how John’s vision to those living under the oppression of the Roman empire is most appropriate for living as faithful witnesses among contemporary oppressions.
The workshop will offer personal time with the professors, an extended Q&A, and a lunch for those attending in-person. The workshop will offer special attention to preaching the Apocalypse while providing understanding and application relevant for all.
