Preaching is one of the most sacred moments in the life of the church because it brings God’s Word to God’s people. At its centre stands the Bible itself. Scripture is not ordinary speech. Instead, it is the living voice of the Lord who created us, saved us through Christ, and speaks to us by the Spirit. When the Bible is opened and read, God reveals His truth, convicts the heart, strengthens faith, and calls His people to walk in holiness. Preaching is therefore a moment of worship because it places the spotlight on the glory of God who speaks through His Word.Yet the preacher also has a vital role. The preacher is called to handle the Scriptures faithfully, to explain the meaning of the text with humility, and to lift up Christ as the hope of every sinner. The preacher is not the centre of the message. Instead, the preacher becomes a servant who points beyond himself to the Lord who saves. When preaching is faithful to Scripture, the church is led to worship God with reverence and joy.The listener has an important part as well. Listeners honour God when they receive the Word with expectation, submit their hearts to its authority, and respond with obedience. In this way all three roles join together in true worship of our loving God.Series: Worship Sermon SeriesScripture: 2 Timothy 4:2; Romans 10:12-15Speaker: Pastor David Hallett
