Preaching is important in scripture because it is powerful.
But what exactly is preaching?

‘Kerysso’ used over 60 times means ‘to proclaim as a herald.”
1. ‘Kerysso’ used over 60 times means ‘to proclaim as a herald.”

Preaching has been God’s means of changing the world
Consider how God has used preaching throughout history to reach out to the world.
2 Chronicles 15:1-15
God chose preaching to be a main avenue by which the truth would be shared.
Preaching is still powerful today because God’s truth is powerful.
Preaching relays God’s truth about every area of life.
Preaching helps us know how God desires for us live in our families, marriages, occupations, church families, relationships and all other roles and actions.
If we humbly accept God’s word in to our hearts it has the potential to work within us to help us be formed into the image of Christ.
