2025 Nicholson Lecture Series

This year's Nicholson Lecture Series is titled “EPIC Preaching for the Harvest: Reframing Proclamation as Everyday Adventure" and will feature Dr. Sarah Han of Tyndale University.

This two-part series reimagines preaching – not as performance, but as invitation.

Lecture 1 - November 4
EPIC Preaching I – Invited to Participate in God’s Everyday Adventure

Lecture 2 - November 5
EPIC Preaching II – Sent with Compassion for the Harvest

Together, we’ll explore how proclamation can spark gospel imagination, cultivate compassion and equip communities to notice God’s presence in everyday life.
