Why we Preach 1
The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, Isaiah 61:1-2 (NIV)

Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 6I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. 7So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 1 Corinthians 3:5-7 (NIV)

How do we Preach?
Be the Sermon • "I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day; I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way. The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the fine ear; Fine counsel is confusing, but example always clear; And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds, For to see good put in action is what everybody needs."
A Great Place to Start •
Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 8
