Preaching & Teaching

Homiletics is the art of Preaching. Melt has preached and taught in churches, colleges and Seminaries from 1991. He lectured Homiletics and advanced Homiletics from 2001-2017. Since that time, he has moved the teaching platform from formal to informal. From classroom to personalized, online one on one training.

• Are you someone who pastors or is a lay preacher that has never had the privilege of formal ministry training?

• Are you someone who preaches and has had formal training, but you feel it has somehow missed the mark?

• Would you like to understand how to do in depth hermeneutics and exegesis that makes your sermons live?

• Consider a tailor made, personalized online class that will equip you properly for the task you are called to. From 8-15 hours requirement dependent.

“Melt is one of the most gifted preachers I have ever heard, always basing his teaching on Scripture and making Scripture relevant in today’s terms. His teaching is in reach of everyone.”

Derrick Planting

“Melt is a true pastor at heart. He can draw people in and grow them. His teaching is compelling, anchored in Scripture but never out of reach of anyone in the congregation.”

Tony van Niekerk

“I enthusiastically endorse preaching and homiletics coaching and training for any pastor, from my dear friend Melt, who introduced me to the art and discipline of homiletics. His guidance opened my eyes to how thoughtful sermon structure, faithful exegesis, and compelling delivery can transform preaching from mere speaking into Spirit-led proclamation that nourishes the Church.

Investing in this kind of training equips pastors to handle God’s Word with accuracy, creativity, and pastoral sensitivity, ensuring that every message not only informs but also inspires and convicts. I’m deeply grateful for the ways my friend and mentor’s teaching has shaped my own ministry, and I urge others to pursue the same invaluable growth.”

Jude D’Souza Mabs

“Melt’s preaching style is with deep compassion & conviction. He preaches with an authority that invites you to listen and be engaged from beginning to end. He is not afraid to tell the truth but does it with warmth and care. Melt brings a high level of theological and biblical knowledge to the pulpit that challenges one always to think deeper.

That, combined with his humour keeps you laughing to the point of tears yet challenges you to draw nearer to God, no matter where you are. I appreciate his humility, transparency and demonstrable reliance on prayer and listening to the Spirit.”

Angela McGowan

“Melt’s compassion, integrity and servant leadership inspires trust, spiritual growth and application. His preaching is well researched, knowledgeable and truthful. I found his teaching inspired and inspiring. His thoughtful exposition of the Scriptures opens eyes and ears to deeper faith.”

Chyrisse Dekker

“I have known Dr. van Der Spuy for over 6 years, and I have had the opportunity to sit under this ministry. He has demonstrated very strong biblical knowledge, excellent delivery that is augmented by practical application of Scripture and personal testimony which leaves a very positive impact on the congregants.

Through his preaching and teachings, one can see that Dr. van Der Spuy is dedicated to the study of the Scriptures. In addition to his clear and powerful delivery he has demonstrated the ability to foster unity and compassion for the Church. I would strongly recommend him for any role in Preaching and Teaching.”

Brighton Lubansa

“As a preacher Melt van der Spuy has influenced me profoundly in both my personal faith journey, and in my ministry offerings. Melt is a preacher who is clearly committed to conveying the integrity of the text he is illuminating. Alongside exegesis of the text, Melt takes care to portray the cultural, religious, and sociological contexts in which the Word was given and written.

He illustrates with examples of biblical text and story from his own life, the communities he has, and currently lives in; always drawing relevance to society and the role of Christians in it today. Melt is cognizant of his entire audience and his messages, words, illustrations cross boundaries of gender, race and economic status; raising the biblical text to even more relevance and provocation for us as we endeavor to follow Jesus.”

Daile Unruh-Peters

“Melt is a charismatic and dynamic preacher and teacher. He has an innate ability to explain and expound complex theological concepts with humour and compassion.”
