Pastor Finley’s lecture on “5 Steps To Becoming a Highly Effective Lay Preacher-Step1” was presented in such an eloquent way that it was easy for me to follow and understand. He expounded on the subject of how important preaching a sermon really is, and how it plays a large part as to whether a person might stay in a church or not. He explained how and why Jesus spoke so eloquently, and gave examples of what a good sermon really should be. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to preach more effectively. I plan to take all 5 steps in this series .
