1. We preach because Jesus preached, and that is why we preach! Preaching comes from the Greek kerusso means to proclaim, to be the divine crier that tells the truth.

2. Preaching Jesus, we don’t proclaim what we want to proclaim, we don’t preach what is comfortable, we preach Christ and him crucified.

What do you hope to accomplish from your preaching? Romans 16:25

What is the gospel?

3 Goals of Preaching
1. To honor Jesus
2. Love and Conviction
3. Transformation occurs

We need at least 15 hours a week to let the passage we are going to preach to us and change us before it can change others. Not for presentation value, not for not stumbling over words, but to let it change our soul.

There is nothing normal in preaching. The subject is not ordinary. It is extraordinary. The subject is always Jesus either directly or indirectly.

Pray that you will let the good hand of the Lord rest upon you -Ezra 7:9-10.
