Lectureship
One of the highlights of the year for the Forest Hill congregation and the MSOP is the Memphis School of Preaching Lectureship. Though usually the Forest Hill auditorium is only filled on the lower section during regular worship services, during Lectureship week both decks of the auditorium are filled to capacity, which can hold over 1,100 people.
In the past, topical studies have been considered, such as “Sin and Salvation,” “The Apostle Paul,” “Lessons in Lyrics,” and “What is Man?” Bible books, for example, “Ecclesiastes and Song of Solomon,” “Genesis,” and “1 and 2 Timothy and Titus,” have also been examined.
Guy N. Woods, Wendell Winkler, Alan Highers, Franklin Camp, Rex A. Turner, Sr., Thomas B. Warren, Garland Elkins, and Robert R. Taylor, Sr., have all preached on the MSOP Lectureship. Each lecture remains available in various forms of media, including tapes, CD’s, books, and the internet. An open forum, in which the moderator, Garland Elkins, gave biblical answers to biblical questions, was also held each day of the lectureship until being replaced by another lecture in 2009.
