Abstract
God uses preaching to influence religious life: a homiletic key to preaching. God speaks directly through the reading from the Scriptures during public worship, but in our ministry we should "do it AS one speaking the very words of God" (1978 N T V). Our preaching should be continually put to the test and measured against the very words of God. The word of God IS His power (Rom 1:15, 16; 1 Cor 1:18, 24; 2 Cor 4:5, 7). To have the power of God, our preaching should be filled with the Holy Spirit (2 Tim 1:7; 1 Thes 1:5). The Power of God in our preaching will be evident if it moves religious life of Christians in such a way that they cannot possibly remain neutral. That every listener should make a commitment in real life, is the acid test for the power of true preaching.
