On that basis there are addresses that become sermons outside the pulpit, and there are sermons that are little more in this direction than a banquet address. Preaching can never be understood apart from worship. It is one part of an extended experience with God. One cannot preach a sermon apart from a service where there is total worship experience through hymns, Scripture, and prayers. The sermon enunciates the faith that makes all worship valid.
Faith is the essential ingredient in a worship experience.
God's presence is here. God's grace is available. The response of faith makes possible our experiencing the reality of His presence and His grace. The sermon should be a time when that faith is enunciated, explained, proclaimed, and offered for acceptance by the worshipers. This personal element has kept preaching a vital part of our church life.
