The Charles Simeon Trust takes its name from Charles Simeon, a faithful preacher who devoted his life to teaching others to handle God’s Word with clarity and conviction. Though his ministry faced resistance, Simeon persevered—training students who would go on to serve churches around the world. That same commitment continues today. The Charles Simeon Trust exists to strengthen the growth of the gospel by equipping the next generation of biblical expositors for faithful, text-driven preaching. #FaithfulPreaching #TeachingWithPurpose #BiblicalExposition #CharlesSimeonTrust #BetterPreachingEverywhere

Wisdom literature is rich in meaning, layered in poetry, and often challenging to interpret and teach well.

Apocalyptic literature can be difficult to grasp and even harder to teach with confidence. In our Apocalyptic Literature course, instructors walk through the language, imagery, and structure of these texts, helping you understand how they communicate both judgment and hope. You’ll explore how apocalyptic passages point to Christ and anchor God’s people in the promise of what is to come. If you’re preparing to teach books like Daniel or Revelation, or want to grow in your overall scripture understanding, this course will help you do so with greater clarity and confidence. 📖 Begin the course: simeontrust.org/courses/apocal… #ApocalypticLiterature #FaithfulPreaching #TeachingTheBible #BiblicalExposition #CharlesSimeonTrust

Church planter Quentin Van Rooyen serves a multicultural congregation in Cape Town, where refugees from across Africa gather to hear God’s Word. After attending a Workshop on Biblical Exposition, Quentin began training leaders from DR Congo, Ghana, Zimbabwe, and South Africa to handle Scripture faithfully. “Watching them grow in their ability to handle God’s Word has convinced me this approach knows no cultural boundaries.” Today, Workshops across Africa are equipping pastors and ministry leaders to preach the Bible clearly and faithfully. May this encourage you as you continue praying for the growth of training across Africa and around the world. Learn more about Workshops near you: simeontrust.org/workshops/

How do we stay steady in the work of ministry? By remembering that God’s Word is sufficient for our preaching, our counseling, and our discipleship. Kevin DeYoung encourages us to hold fast to the Scriptures and trust that they will accomplish what God intends. 🎥 From the Systematic Theology & Preaching course: simeontrust.org/courses/system… #FaithfulPreaching #SufficiencyOfScripture #BiblicalExposition #CharlesSimeonTrust #TeachingWithPurpose

Clarity starts with structure. Before we jump to application or persuasion, we need to understand how a passage is built. Jeremy Meeks reminds us that the shape of the text reveals the emphasis, and that’s what anchors faithful preaching. 🎥 From the Gospels & Acts course simeontrust.org/courses/gospel… #FaithfulPreaching #BiblicalExposition #TeachingWithPurpose #CharlesSimeonTrust #GospelsAndActs

The prophetic books can be challenging, foreign in context, intense in tone, and unfamiliar in structure. In our Prophetic Literature course, instructors like David Helm, Nancy Guthrie, and Miguel Núñez walk through how to read these books carefully and teach them clearly. You'll explore the role of the prophets, the structure of the oracles, and how these texts point forward to Christ. If you're preparing to teach Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel or any of the Minor Prophets, this course will help you do so with greater clarity and confidence. 📖 Begin the course: simeontrust.org/courses/prophe… #PropheticLiterature #FaithfulPreaching #TeachingTheBible #BiblicalExposition #CharlesSimeonTrust
