Preaching Christ in the Law, Prophets, and Psalms

This course equips students with the hermeneutical and homiletical skills to preach Christ from the Law, Prophets, and Psalms in a manner that is faithful to the divinely intended message of the Old and New Testaments. The course stands upon two theological convictions about the Old Testament that arise primarily from Luke 24: 1)that the Old Testament is Christian Scripture, and 2) that the Old Testament speaks of Christ. For the capstone project, students will prepare five Christocentric sermons from selected Old Testament texts, thereby demonstrating the ability to communicate the "Christ centered, gospel driven, mission focused" message of Scripture.
