NOW WE’RE TALKING!

With Rev. Dr. Michael Adam Beck

 

This is not your traditional Stewardship Preaching Institute webinar! 

 

Imagine engaging in dialogue instead of sharing a monologue during your weekly worship experience. Can you envision how this also creates space for God to speak from within the community? 

 

We’re talking about dialogical preaching, which has been around for centuries and yet is considered a fresh expression of church in today’s world. Based on Jesus and his parables, it’s a form of proclaiming Christ’s hope for the world! 

 

“We start with a biblical text, we engage that text together, locate ourselves in the story, and finally wrestle with the implications for our lives.” (Michael Adam Beck)

 

This approach is a great way to share the joy of generosity and other fresh expressions of church with people beyond the walls of our congregation who seek grace, mercy, and healing.

 

Join us on March 20th at 12:30 pm and March 21st at 7 pm (recorded version) on the Stewardship Preaching Institute webinar as Rev. Dr. Michael Beck, Director of Fresh Expressions for the United Methodist Church and a pastor for an inherited traditional congregation, challenges all in attendance to experience and engage in dialogical preaching around the ministry area of financial stewardship.
