In this video, Craig Houston explains that preaching in the church is essential for worship. Without preaching, there is no worship. Through this kind of preaching, we learn about all things. Preachers need to come back to faithfully preach God's Word instead of relying on exciting stories and jokes.

Ephesians 4:11-14 (NKJV) - "And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting"

I have a passion for biblical exposition of God's Word, and I believe that preaching in the church is central to worship. Without preaching, I don't believe we have worship. It is from biblical exposition, faithfully proclaimed, that we learn about all aspects of worship. Preaching is something that has, at different times throughout the centuries, has fallen out of vogue or out of popularity. It has been out of season, to use a scriptural reference, and yet it is always what God blesses.

And men of God who want to be faithful to God in worshiping through preaching need to get back to expounding the Scriptures, not telling jokes, not just trying to give a 30-minute message with 15 minutes of a dynamic illustration and a few scriptural principles kind of tacked on. They need to get back to opening up the Word of God. Timothy is exhorted by Paul, Preach the Word. Be instant in season, out of season. Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
