Dr. Mains has been
a guest professor at various colleges and seminaries, both
in the U.S. and overseas. He is skilled at working with men
and women who feel they are less-than-exceptional preachers
and helping them become remarkably effective in the pulpit.
He prefers teaching in an intensive environment when the learning is focused
and extremely practical. He holds three-day seminars in his home area of West
Chicago, Illinois six times a year. Participation is limited on each occasion
to 20 people so each one receives the personal attention deserved.
If you are traveling, you will need to arrange for a place to stay Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings. The first session begins at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday and
the last session ends at noon on Thursday.
There will be 16 concentrated hours of classroom time with assignments to complete
each evening, so you will want a quiet place to be able to work. You are responsible
for your morning and evening meals. Lunch is provided each day as well as drinks
and snacks.
The cost is $300.00 per person

Sermon-enhancing Worship Helps
Because
churches vary greatly in the way their services
are structured, we have not attempted to provide
any set order of service. Instead, we're suggesting
numerous service elements that can fit into various
formats, while harmonizing with your primary
message. Time restraints will not permit you
to use all of these ideas. Instead, make use
of whatever seems most appropriate for your given
setting. In each case you will notice a worship
or praise theme is also suggested that compliments
the thrust of your sermon.
What's
a
Sermon-sucking
Black Hole?
Black
holes are strange invisible objects in outer
space that have incredible suction properties
so powerful that even light cannot escape. A
sermon-sucking black hole is that similar phenomenon
that occurs on church parking lots when listeners
leave worship unable to remember the sermon message
you just preached.
How
Do I Access
the Extra Helps Resources?
Every
resource in the Worship Helps section helps you to
overcome the sermon-sucking Black Hole by increasing
sermon retention and application. We accomplish this
by using extra sermon and service helps that re-teach
your message in creative ways for different learning
styles. Access these essential tools with your paid
subscription to Sermon-Coach.com.
