2008 REUBEN WELCH SERMON CONTEST - The Welch Sermon Contest is open to Senior students of Point Loma Nazarene University. The student does not need to be a major in the School of Theology and Christian Ministry to participate in the contest. Its purpose is to encourage the development of a preaching mind that will minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the twentieth-first century world. The three sermons judged to be the best examples submitted by the students will be preached in the University chapel April 7, 9, and 11. A monetary gift will be awarded to each of the students finalists. Participants should note the following issues that will provide the criteria for judging the sermons: 1. The sermon is expected to be faithful to the biblical message. 2. The sermon ought to have a basic grounding in the rich theological traditions of the Christian church. 3. The sermon needs to address persons living in the contemporary world. 4. The sermon is not to exceed 2500 words in length. 5. The sermon manuscript will be presented as a typed document with double-spaced lines. 6. The sermon manuscript must be turned into Pat Jafry in the office of the School of Theology and Christian Ministry by March 31, 2008. 7. Recognition of awards will be given during the Senior Banquet of the School of Theology and Christian Ministry, May 5, 2008. If students are concerned about the structure and style of the sermon, they may consult a basic manual (handbook) on preaching (e.g., Thomas Long, The Witness of Preaching). http://www.pointloma.edu/SchoolofTheologyChristianMinistry/ANNOUNCEMENTS.htm
