The Preaching Matters Podcast

The difference between preaching the gospel and preaching legalism are miles apart.

Preaching the gospel involves sharing the message of God's love and grace, and the good news of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the importance of developing a personal relationship with God, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of believers.

On the other hand, legalism focuses on rules and regulations, often with an emphasis on strict adherence to religious rules and traditions. This approach can lead to a legalistic mindset that puts more emphasis on outward behavior than the condition of the heart. It can create a sense of fear and guilt in those who are unable to live up to the standards set by the law.

The difference between these two approaches is significant, and has a profound impact on how individuals view their relationship with God. Preaching legalism can create a sense of obligation and duty, which can lead to a shallow understanding of faith. In contrast, preaching the gospel emphasizes the importance of a faith relationship with God, and encourages individuals to seek a deeper, more intimate connection with Him.

Ultimately, the gospel is about freedom and grace, while legalism is about rules and regulations. By emphasizing the transformative power of God's love and grace, and encouraging individuals to seek a faith relationship with Him, we can help others experience the true joy and fulfillment that come from living a life of faith.

On Being the Main Character in Your Own Sermon | Tim Challies If you’ve ever preached as much as a single sermon, if you’ve ever delivered as much as a single conference address, if you’ve ever led as much as a single Bible study, then I expect you know the temptation. I expect you have longed to make much of Jesus, but…

Preaching is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you’re going to get. Sometimes you get a sweet message that makes you feel good inside. Other times you get a bitter message that leaves a bad taste in your mouth. And then there are times when you get a message that’s so stale and dry that it’s like eating cardboard. But hey, at least it’s low in calories!” 😂

Thank you for listening to the podcast.

Sunday is coming. You will say many things, but above all, be sure you preach the Gospel.

I've had some requests about learning to preach on an iPad. Here is an infographic I made. I hope it helps. I plan to record an episode dealing with this issue.

On tomorrow’s podcast, we will talk about Improving Our Sermon Delivery. This episode will be live at 12:00 AM.
