To be honest, I was a little nervous and uneasy before we started our first session…

Greetings! I’m writing to express my gratitude for your guidance, patience, and support throughout my Homiletics Course journey. To be honest, I’m a little nervous and uneasy before we start our first session because I’m worried that I’ll be the youngest student or the person with the least ministry involvement or exposure in the group. But then I realized that my co-learners were of various ages and experiences. Some are pastors, while others, like me, are just getting started. I really enjoyed learning how to properly prepare and deliver a sermon with the help of the Holy Spirit.

After completing the Homiletics Course, I noticed significant changes in the way I share the message of the Lord. I became more careful and attentive to every detail to ensure that what I was sharing was relevant in the context. The Homiletics and your inputs helped me to better understand my role as a messenger or ambassador of the Lord, proclaiming His wonderful messages to people. I always use the lectures and notes as a guide for creating an effective sermon outline. I am blessed and grateful that people around me also recognized my improvement and growth after the course, and none of this would have been possible without the Lord’s grace. All glory belongs to Him!

I’m excited to keep moving forward with all of the techniques and knowledge I’ve gained from you because it’s useful not only for sermon preparations but also for my daily devotions as I study the Scriptures. I hope and pray that our loving God continues to bless you and use you both to bless others by sharing your knowledge and experiences with them through courses like this. Thank you for the opportunity and for inspiring me to do better. Your support means more to me than words can express. This certificate is a testimony of our Lord’s goodness.

I was also given another opportunity to share God’s message yesterday during our Sunday Service. I am really thankful because I can always look back to my notes from our class discussions and to the materials that you have provided as a guide on how to properly preach the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,

Liza (the Philippines)
