The Role of Preaching in Growing Churches

In this article, David Eby argues that the proclamation of the gospel in all its breadth and depth, in both public and private ministry, stands at the center of growing both people and churches. Eby maintains that God’s manual on church growth not only insists on the necessity of powerful preaching as the means for a growing church, but it also describes in detail its content. Eby concludes by presenting eleven components of powerful preaching from the book of Acts.
