Preaching Workshop - Auckland
Preaching Workshop with John Tucker and Paul Windsor. Saturday 2nd August, 2025.
Description
Are you interested in preaching, but never had any formal training? Are you a seasoned preacher, and you’re wanting to develop emerging preachers in your church? Or do you simply want to sharpen up your own preaching skills? If your answer is yes, then this practical, and interactive training seminar is for you. It will provide a basic introduction to the principles and practices of preaching sermons that are both faithful to Scripture and engaging for listeners. We’ll cover topics like:
- How to conceive the message
- How to shape the message
- How to illustrate the idea
- How to apply the truth
- How to deliver the sermon
This is an in-person only event being offered in Auckland at Carey Baptist College.
Morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea is included.
Presenters
Paul Windsor has been working with Langham Preaching for 15 years —and in the recent decade he has served as the international Programme Director. Prior to this he had 20 years in theological education in NZ—first at Laidlaw College, then at Carey Baptist College, as principal. Other formative influences on his life have been: a full childhood in a missionary family in India; a theological education at TEDS in the USA; a pastoral ministry at Georgetown Baptist Church in Invercargill; and the completion of a DMin thesis on “The Role of Intrigue in the Communication with Sceptics”. He has been married to Barby for 41 years and they enjoy their nine children (including the four in-laws here!) and nine grandchildren.
Dr John Tucker is Principal of Carey Baptist College, where he teaches preaching. He’s passionate about the power of God’s word and the need to proclaim it effectively. Before teaching at Carey, John was a pastor and a lawyer. He loves sport and loves talking about that too.
