On
Preaching
Always seek the Lord for a
message and preach what He lays on your heart. One note though, Paul
sought to teach in accordance with the whole counsel of God. If you only preach
topical sermons, it is very easy for passion to fade. However, if you preach
expository sermons (walk through particular chapters and even books of the
Bible) expounding upon its truth, you can still preach using some illustrations
and such, but you will ground your flock in the Word. Preach the Word! O
preacher, do not err by trying to entertain, nor by relying upon your own
efforts in preaching. In truth, preaching is a sovereign work of God. The Holy
Spirit is the one who transforms hearts, not our “flawless” presentations. Even
in weakness and trembling, bringing the Word, the Holy Spirit can and does
deeply touch hearts.
