Is there any other ways that you develop that insight as a preacher to be able to bring God's Word to bear in our culture context?

Yeah.

I think the first thing I'd want to say to every preacher is your walk with Jesus, I think, hands down, is everything.

And remembering that everything you need personally and everything you need to know is found in Him.

So if we had more and more preachers, living a genuine, loving relationship with Jesus and enjoying Him and being challenged by Him.

You think about all the insecurities.

Most of the challenges in the years of preaching is not about how to structure a sermon.

How does Christ-centered preaching speak into that? How does it offer something that is such a better version than what the world offers?

Father, we

declare

you are a

good, loving, eternal Father.

What a joy to know that in Christ we woke up this morning in your love.

And there is nothing that can separate us from that love.

It is pure.

It is perfect.
