How significant has preaching been for your own spiritual journey? If possible, identify specific preachers or sermons that have impacted you, and explore reasons why they were so effective. If preaching has not been significant in your life, can you explain why?

Preaching has given me a sense and purpose in my life especially when people respond and give their life to jesus.

Preaching has been very significant. The main reason is that through preaching God has spoken to me very much in detail for a specific time and situation in my life. The moments when I have been faced with a challenge, situation, or even discouragement and through preaching God spoke to the inner man in a way that only he could. That has happened many times in major ways. Also, I have enjoyed ministers that can tell an illustrative story with details or use visuals that stick in my mind.

preaching has helped my spiritual journey, by clarifying many topics, ideas, and questions that on my own may be difficult to understand. Some preachers have impacted my life, one that comes to mind is Guillermo Maldonado, he is not afraid to stand for the truth and he understands what he has been called to do, is to lead many towards God and that is a very serious undertaking which has to be done with the upmost respect for God’s word. He has lead many to walk in their callling and function as the Lord has called them to do.

Pastor Harrison and Dr Chatyoka, Zimbabwe ??, have impacted me positively. They built my faith until now I am a grown up man. One of the great sermons I heard was that a child of God never gives up. This message came at a point where my life was taking a transition. It greatly inspired me until today. I think they were so effective because I had great respect for them, they taught us how to pray and the way of the Lord.

it was a preached sermon that brought me to faith in Christ so it is very significant for me. In addition to bringing me to faith in Christ, preaching continues to be a major avenue of spiritual growth for me as a Christian. One preacher that has impacted my life is John. F. MacArthur. I first heard him preach a sermon regarding false conversion taken from Matthew 7:21-23. It was the first time I had ever heard about false conversion. It led me to serious self-examination and reassessment of my commitment to Christ. I made significant changes in my life as a result. I became a better Christian as a result of that sermon.
