Church Segmentation - Part 9, Contemporary Topical Preaching

Preachers and Teachers. Evangelists and Exhorters. Word-bearers in the Church of the Living God. Those called to be Elders and Deacons. Pastors of the flock...

Stop teaching so many culture-topical messages. What do I mean by this? I mean, stop looking to the culture to find what you should teach.

If you need to correct your local church because they have followed the world, do not hesitate to rebuke. But be sure to teach them the Word of God. Start with The Word - end with The Word. Every answer your local church needs is in the Word. The Word of God IS Christ. He is the most awesome message that could ever be preached or taught! Preach the Word (Christ) in Season and out of Season. Teach them the Gospels. The Epistles. Revelation. The Books of Wisdom. The Law. Teach them The book of Acts and the Prophets. They need to know the mind of Christ and it is ONLY found in the Word of Christ!

Reproof corrects us, but there is no reproof apart from the Word of God. Your sheep need Christ, they just don't always know it.

They have been conditioned by the cosmos to hear advice from Oprah, doctrine from Dr. Phil and the extra-biblical traditions of Church Going men. But do not forsake The Word of Life which is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He is our only hope. You need not entertain them, merely share the truth and pure nourishment of the Word of God.
