The What of Preaching.
Intro: Why don’t you just...
Hallmarks of the Spirit’s work in Preaching
(And Hearing the Word)
It Should...
Give grace to those who hear Titus 2:11-15
This is true of preaching to believers & unbelievers - Grace and peace to you...
Apply God’s timeless truth to current realities.
Titus 2:11-15
He is the creator he has given the owners manual.
Say again what God has already said.
- 2 Pet 1:16, 20-21 Rom 8:14-17

The prophets were considered God’s mouthpieces, consider Isaiah and Jeremiah.

To make the Word Fully Known - Colossians 1:24-28
Faith, Truth, Godliness & Hope Titus 1:1-3
Preaching is aimed at the head, heart & hands
Command - Acts 10:39-43
And then that commission is ours.
Grace - Eph 4:29
We need the Word like we need food and water – but we don’t always act like it – why we are spiritually dying.
