Preaching in church Today

Sermons are becoming predictable in church today. Have you noticed that? Last year, someone told me it is easy to know ahead of time what the preacher of the day may be saying. This person went on pointing out that all messages seem to be around love.

Below are the types of sermons that we should avoid to deliver or hear:

1. A message that does not point us to Jesus Christ
2. A message that does not call us to repentance
3. A message that does not call us into action
4. A message that does not match the vision of the church

When these do not happen in your church, multiplication and growth both spiritual and physical will not happen as well.

I wonder if preachers realize this. It is not just a job. It is a calling that we have received from God. Being a preacher is a mandate that the Creator has given us to take His word to all humankind for the transformation of the world. Therefore, repentance, restoration, reconciliation and healing should happen every time we open our mouths to share God's word.

Be blessed in this ministry of the word!
