Some Thoughts On Preaching

The pastor must recognize the priority of preaching in his ministry. Expository preaching, under the aid of the Holy Spirit, is discovering the meaning of a biblical text, and communicating that meaning to an audience through explanation, illustration, and application. The Bible, therefore, is the source of all preaching, not merely a resource in preaching. Biblical preaching is not man-centered, but Christ-centered. The preacher must preach the Word for the edification of the Church and for the evangelization of the lost. Preaching must be aimed at the transformation of people’s lives as they encounter the Word and submit to its authority.
