Why Cool Church Doesn’t Work Anymore

But that shouldn’t stop us from trying.

Leaders and churches need to keep experimenting, keep pressing on in the name of love and keep driving down new highways to find the future.

As much as worship and so many other touch points impact how we are the church, 76 percent of people say the message is a main factor in whether they attend a church. No surprise, since it’s the majority of the service.

So how do you preach in a way that connects with today’s culture WITHOUT selling out?

The Art of Better Preaching Course is a 12-session video training with a comprehensive, interactive workbook that will help you create, write and deliver better sermons. The course contains the lessons Mark Clark (lead pastor of  Village Church, a growing megachurch in post-Christian Vancouver) and I have learned, taught and used over decades of being professional communicators.

This is the complete course you need to start preaching better sermons, including:

  • Seven preaching myths it’s time to bust forever
  • The five keys to preaching sermons to unchurched people (that will keep them coming back)
  • How to discover the power in the text (and use it to drive your sermon)
  • The specific characteristics of sermons that reach people in today’s world
  • Why you need to ditch your sermon notes (and how to do it far more easily than you think)
  • How to keep your heart and mind fresh over the long run

And far more. Plus you get an interactive workbook and some bonus resources that will help you write amazing messages week after week.
