What role does preaching play in the life of a Christian?

The sermon emphasizes that preaching is fundamental to the life of Christians, as it is through the proclamation of the gospel that believers are equipped and strengthened. In Acts 20, Paul notes that he is 'pure from the blood of all men' because he did not shrink back from declaring the full counsel of God. Preaching the Word brings comfort, encourages faith, and reinforces the believers' identity in Christ. It allows for communal growth as hearts are knit together through a shared understanding of God’s truths, fostering deeper relationships within the body of Christ.
