Sermon
Seminar 2008 is now behind us. We pray that your attendance blessed
your life and your ministry.
The Austin Graduate School of Theology hosted 100 church
leaders from around the country for its 27th Annual Sermon Seminar
May 19-22, 2008.
The seminar provided in-depth study of the scripture along with practical
suggestions on how to teach and preach the text.
“The Sermon Seminar is the best seminar I have attended in helping me to
preach the Word of God,” said Chris Vidacovich of Kilgore, Texas. “The
speakers are outstanding scholars who share their knowledge in practical and
applicable ways. It also gives me the opportunity to spend time with other ministers
of the Gospel as we share ideas together. I will use the information and knowledge
I gained for years to come.”
This was the first year the seminar was held in the school’s new facility
which was designed with the seminar in mind. The seminar utilized two large rooms
in the 27,000 sq ft facility; one for lecture programs and the other for breakfast
and lunch programs.
This year’s sessions covered how to preach from Hebrews, Galatians, Amos,
and Genesis 12 – 50. The speakers were Dwight Robarts of the Skillman Ave
Church of Christ in Dallas, Dr. Jeffrey Peterson of Austin Graduate School of
Theology, Dr. Mark Hamilton of Abilene Christian University, and Dr. Rick Marrs
of Pepperdine, respectively. Special lunch presentations were made by Eddie Sharp
of the University Church in Abilene. CD’s of the sessions can be ordered
by visiting www.agst.silvertreeaustin.com.
Next year’s seminar will be held May 18–21, 2009. Speakers will
include Ben Witherington III, Harold Shank, Tim Willis, and Stan Reid.
Please continue to check this website for updated information and

hesitate to contact us with any questions or comments. We look forward
to serving you throughout the year in any way we can.
In Him,
