Track #2

Heath Pucel: is as an evangelist at Fishermen’s Call and the instructor of the "Keep Your Finger in the Text" (KYFITT) workshops for SFOI. This year Heath is teaching Biblical Theology in preaching.

Heath describes the goal of his teaching:

"The commitment of studying biblical passages is crucial for faithful exposition in preaching and teaching scripture. It requires a commitment to diligent and thorough examination of the text and a willingness to engage in the hard work rather than relying on the interpretations of others, study notes and commentaries. Although these are useful, they should not be our first resources for study. This approach provides a path to practical, persuasive, powerful preaching. It guards against the pitfalls of misinterpreting or mishandling scripture in order to fit personal beliefs, agendas and theological frameworks. By carefully studying and interpreting the Bible, we discover and gain a deeper understanding of God's Word so we can apply its teachings to our lives first, which leads to preach and teach with greater accuracy and effectiveness."

“Bill’s goal with SFOI and the GWP has been to mobilize the next generation of George Whitefield’s. This goal combined with KYFITT provide a powerful remedy of faithful heralds of the King, rightly proclaiming His word and living a life fully and totally committed to prayer, study and preaching the word."

•  I am excited this year as we dive into Biblical Theology and Preaching.

Biblical Theology plays a crucial role in preaching, as it seeks to uncover the overarching themes, concepts, and purposes of Scripture and how it points to Christ. By understanding the overarching themes and motifs in the grand narrative of the Bible, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the continuity of God's message across different books, authors, and genres.

This helps us interpret and connect various passages and themes across the entirety of the Bible, allowing us to present a holistic view of God's character, his plan of salvation, and our role in his story.

Additionally, grounding our preaching in a solid Biblical Theology foundation can help avoid theological errors and pitfalls which diminish exalting Christ and showcase a greater, deeper Gospel connection to those we preach to.
