Understand that preaching is a form of worship. It’s not only about imparting knowledge but also about glorifying God by valuing and treasuring His Word. The act of obedience to the command to preach and the attitude of our preaching as we hear the Word of God combine as the culmination of our corporate worship gathering.

When we listen to a sermon, it should be an intimate conversation between us and God, where His Word penetrates our hearts and minds. It’s about allowing the sermon to challenge, comfort, and change us.

Preaching is an opportunity for worship. Often, we limit the idea of worship to singing and music. However, preaching is equally a form of worship. It's about treasuring and valuing the Word of God. Every sermon is an opportunity to dive into the Scriptures, to understand and embrace the messages God has for us. Like cherishing a letter from a loved one, we should cherish the messages delivered through preaching.

Malachi reminds us that revitalizing our churches begins with revitalizing our worship. Let's lead our congregations to a place of genuine, heartfelt worship that honors the God who is worthy of all praise and adoration.
