ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PREACHING IN THE CHURCH
Preaching is central in the life of a church, because Jesus himself speaks savingly through the preached Word.
ABOUT PREACHING THE GOSPEL
The greatest peril is forgetting what preaching is there for in the first place. It is not there as a platform for pet theories, church politics, the culture wars, developing a personal following for myself or for proving how cool I can be. The preaching ministry is there for the display of Jesus Christ, according to the gospel. It is for him alone, as he wants to speak to the people, love them, help them, and save them. Preaching is a sacred experience and must not be profaned by misplaced enthusiasms. Preachers must not get in the way of the Gospel Message!
