2015 Calvin Symposium on Worship

Workshop | How Not To Preach

Led by Tim Blackmon

The annual Calvin Symposium on Worship is a conference sponsored by the Calvin Institute of Christian Worship and the Center for Excellence in Preaching, held at Calvin College and Calvin Theological Seminary, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Many of my friends have a very different take on life. They hope to find personal significance without God. The gospel story I preach seems neither plausible or all that relevant. Philosopher Charles Taylor explains "we are now living in a spiritual supernova, a kind of galloping pluralism on the spiritual plane." This workshop is a brief field guide on how (not) to preach and teach the gospel in a secular age.
