I think the more favourable statement is "preaching is supposed to inspire worship"
But of course if you are preaching, you can indulge in your own worship to God, just not within the message.
Not to discount the Spirit your sermons edify, but I think you are confusing optimism with hope?If I preached a sermon where I didn’t worship God within the message, I preached a bad sermon.
Not to discount the Spirit your sermons edify, but I think you are confusing optimism with hope?
If I hope my sermons inspire praise, being optimistic about that praise does not justify my sermon; if I am consistently optimistic about my praise, I may want to preach more, but they stay two different things.
That said, I feel like we are toying with a "formula" or "method" to edifying the Church, when in reality the Holy Spriit leads where He will.
“Preaching is not something that happens after the worship.
Preaching is worship.” - Pastor Josh Buice
Do you agree or disagree with his assertion?
It depends on what you are preaching..
So, if you are preaching that "mary the queen of heaven, is currently helping Jesus save souls by water baptism" then you are not preaching worship, you are preaching "cult of Mary".
But if you are preaching that " only Jesus Saves" and "God would have ALL people to come and be saved, born again".. and The Cross of Christ is the only Way to Heaven"....John 14:6
If you are in that MINISTRY, then YES.... you are definitely giving God HIGH Praise, and Glory.
It depends on what you are preaching..
… if you are preaching ...
”Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God …”
(Mark 1:14)
Yes, he preached that to Jews., before He died on the Cross.
So, ignore that, and Preach the actual Gospel.
See, In Mark 1, Jesus has not died on the Cross yet, so, its impossible to preach "Jesus saves" when there is no Cross yet.
So, that's the reality.
THere is a Gospel that the CHRISTIAN is to preach, and that is not found in Mark 1, as there is no Jesus on the Cross yet, for us to "preach".
There is only one “actual” gospel. Jesus and the apostles preached it.
You’re suggesting that the rest of the gospel should not be preached.
Your advice to Christians is: 1. ignore what Jesus preached and 2. don’t preach what Jesus preached.
Guess again...
Actually Paul Preached it.
The "Gospel" is that Jesus died on the Cross for your sin., and this eternal SIN offering is the Blood Atonement, that is the New Covenant, that is the "Gospel of the Grace of God".
That's Paul's Gospel.
There is no '"rest of the Gospel".
There is no Part 1, part 12, part 345.
There is THE "Preaching of the Cross" = " that is the "Power of God, unto Salvation".
And if you preach or teach that there is "another" gospel, or that there is "more to it"..... then Paul says you are under a curse.
This one.... Galatians 1:8
Paul said, "we preach CHRIST Crucified".
Do you?
Does your Cult?
This is THE Gospel, that Paul teaches as "MY Gospel"., and it was given to Him by Jesus, after Jesus ascended back into Heaven.
He later gave it to all of the Apostles, in Acts 15.
Jesus said that "Paul is a chosen vessel unto me ", who was called by Jesus.... and sent to bring the Gospel of the Grace of God "in the time of the gentiles".
This is the "Gospel of the Grace of God".
This is the "Preaching of THE Cross".
This is "Pauline Theology".
My advice to you is not to be a liar, if you can avoid it.
Start anytime you like.
Jesus and Paul preached the same gospel.
