How do we know that faithful preaching is essential for Christian growth?

Answered in 1 source

Faithful preaching is essential because it disturbs complacency and provokes thought, leading individuals to deeper reflection on their faith.

In the ministry of John the Baptist, as recorded in Luke 3:15-18, his preaching disturbed those who heard him, provoking them to ponder whether he might be the Christ. This disturbance is a sign of true preaching, as it encourages hearers to deeply consider divine truth. Both John the Baptist and modern preachers aim to present God’s Word in a way that engages the mind and spirit, stirring believers to think about their relationship with Christ. The expectation and musing of the people in John's time demonstrate that faithful preaching compels individuals to reflect not only on who they are but also on their need for the Savior, thereby promoting spiritual growth.
