The Responsibilities of the Church: Preaching, Part 1

The primary purpose for choosing a church is the biblical preaching, which sets the tone for the church's strength and maturity. Preaching is essential for communicating divine truth and building up the body of Christ.

This is achieved through the ministry of preachers and teachers, who are gifted by God to equip the saints for the work of service and ministry. The power of preaching lies in its simplicity and clarity, not in cleverness or cultural relevance. God has ordained that people need to know Him, and the way they can know Him is through His Word, which reveals Him. [... more]
