Take 5: Introduction

Mike MinterMedia, Resources, Take 5September 18, 20140

It has been my distinct privilege to have taught the scriptures for about forty years at Reston Bible Church. Though I think there is still some tread left on the tire, I would like to pass on to both young and old some of the lessons I have learned regarding this great calling that we lovingly refer to as preaching. Take 5 is an online video series for pastors and teachers of God’s Word where I will share some of the teaching tips I have learned through the years.

Starting September 22, we will publish Take 5 on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays here on the RBC blog, and will keep a running archive on RBC’s Vimeo channel.
