The sermon is from Romans 10:14-17 – “The Message →The Messenger→The Means→Manumission”. “And how are they to hear without someone preaching?” – Romans 10:14
George Strait sings, “Preachers preach, farmers plow ….” And unknowingly, Mr. Strait highlights one of the most important means God uses for the salvation of his people. God, of course, also uses Christians as they share Christ with friends and family. But Christ and the Apostles place a special emphasis upon the importance of preachers in God’s saving purposes (Mark 1:38; Acts 5:42; 1 Corinthians 1:21-23; 2 Timothy 4:1-2). A famous catechism asks, “How is the Word made effectual to salvation?” And then, it gives the answer, “The Spirit of God makes the reading, but especially the preaching, of the Word, an effectual means of convincing and converting sinners, and of building them up in holiness and comfort, through faith, unto salvation.” So, pray for preachers; support and encourage them; and heed the word of the Gospel as they faithfully declare it week after week.
