Description
Help preachers engage listeners in a world defined by visual media and short, segmented information. Alyce McKenzie offers a modern approach to sermon development and delivery, harnessing drama and human fascination with scenes.
McKenzie's strategy involves inviting listeners into scenes from Scripture or contemporary life, then pointing them toward the larger story of God's relationship with humankind. This unified approach encompasses daily life observations, Scripture interpretation, sermon shaping, sequencing, and delivery.
The goal is to equip listeners to act out their parts in ways that are kinder, more just, and courageous than before, sending them out into the scenes they'll play in their lives for the next week.
