What is preaching?

Mark 16:15 KJV

[15] And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.


We all must preach the Gospel. So we must know how to preach.


What is preaching? What are its components?


Peter's sermon to the high priest and others, Acts 4:5-12, contains these parts.


  1. He stated why they needed to listen to him. Verses 7-9. The reason--they were asking him about the good deed that had been done.

  2. He quoted Scripture. Verse 11. He referred to Psalm 118:22.

  3. He explained this Scripture. Verses 10-11. He told them that "the stone which was set at nought" was Jesus.

  4. He applied this Scripture to those listening. Verse 12. He told the listeners that all must be saved, and only by Jesus can people be saved.


The sermons in the Bible follow this pattern, more or less.


Preaching can be done to a group, or it can be done one on one.
