## Definition: ##
|
|
|
|
To "preach" means to speak to a group of people, teaching them about God and urging them to obey him.
|
|
|
|
* Often preaching is done by one person to a large group of people. It is usually spoken, not written.
|
|
* "Preaching" and "teaching" are similar, but are not exactly the same.
|
|
* "Preaching" mainly refers to publicly proclaiming spiritual or moral truth, and urging the audience to respond. "Teaching" is a term that emphasizes instruction, that is, giving people information or teaching them how to do something.
|
|
* The term "preach" is usually used with the word "gospel."
|
|
* What a person has preached to others can also be referred to in general as his "teachings."
