Whenever there is deliverance, liberation, recovery, and release, there is the preaching of the Gospel.
In other words, preaching isn’t just for preachers, it’s also for all of you.
Preaching doesn’t just happen in church. It happens in our words and actions in the classroom and at the grocery store. Preaching happens at the bank and in the backyard bbq. Preaching happens in the hospital and in the home.
Preaching happens whenever there is deliverance and liberation, recovery and release.
It’s as if Jesus is preaching to us through scripture today and he says, “Things are not as they ought to be. People are afraid. They don’t have hope. Well, I’m here to bring good news to the poor, to announce pardon to prisoners, to include the excluded, and to set the burdened free. Who’s coming with me?”
