What does it look like to prepare and preach the Bible in a way that’s both faithful to the text and reliant on the Holy Spirit?

In this panel discussion hosted by Mike Neglia, four experienced Bible teachers – Roy Kasika, Moses Ouni, Zeddie Muzungu, and Brian Kelly – respond to real questions about sermon prep, interpretation, and Spirit-led preaching. Recorded live in September 2024 at Calvary Chapel Kampala, Uganda, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and pastoral encouragement for those who teach God’s Word.

The conversation ranges from outlining and inductive Bible study to interpreting challenging genres like prophecy and apocalyptic literature. The panellists highlight the need for repeated prayer, contextual awareness, and a Christ-centred lens for every passage. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been preaching for years, you’ll find this discussion grounding, clarifying, and energising.

🔑 Key Topics Include:

• Why prayer is essential throughout the study process
• How to find and focus on the one big idea in a passage
• Interpreting figurative language, prophecy, and apocalyptic texts like Revelation
• Using translations like NKJV, ESV, and NLT for clarity and richness
• Preaching Christ from all of Scripture – especially the Old Testament
• Sermon prep timelines – from 4 hours to 20 (and why it varies)
• Trusting the Holy Spirit more than your outline
