Preaching is crucial because it conveys God's message, brings about faith, and effectively communicates the truths of the Gospel.
Preaching holds a foundational place in the ministry, being one of the primary means through which God communicates His truth to His people. The Scriptures teach that faith comes through hearing the word of Christ, emphasizing the necessity of preaching (Romans 10:14-17). In 1 Corinthians 1:21, Paul notes that God has chosen the 'foolishness of preaching' to save those who believe. Effective preaching of the Gospel is not merely conveying information but involves divinely empowered exposition that can convict, comfort, and instruct the listeners. Through the preaching of the Word, Christ's voice is heard, drawing people to Him and building His Church.
