USING EXPOSITORY PREACHING TO INCREASE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S HOLINESS AT
GREEN POND BAPTIST CHURCH IN WOODRUFF, SOUTH CAROLINA Francis Richard Williams Jr.
The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2023 Faculty Supervisor: Dr. Michael E. Pohlman
This Doctorate of Educational Ministry Project is designed to increase the knowledge of and affection for God in the members of Green Pond Baptist Church in Woodruff, South Carolina, through expository preaching on the holiness of God. Chapter 1 gives the context, rationale, purpose, goals and research methodology for the project.
Chapter 2 posits that the correct teaching and preaching of Scripture is essential for one’s understanding of God’s holiness to increase. Chapter 3 argues that preachers today can learn from faithful men in the past who have preached on the holiness of God and pressed this truth into their lives. Chapter 4 describes the details and implementation of the
project. Chapter 5 gives a review of the data and the results of the project.
