Christ-Centered Exposition Workshop
Christ-Centered Exposition Workshop: Exalting Jesus in Matthew
This workshop will equip you to become a more effective communicator and expositor of God’s word. Our featured speakers will cover issues of interpretation in Matthew and key themes of the book, and they will share valuable insights to help you enhance your preaching. This event also provides a great opportunity for fellowship, as you will attend a Southeastern chapel service and gather over lunch with other guests.
