Preached Quote by Mark Galli

“The preached Word is an event that creates hearers; through preaching, the Word comes alive in hearers’ lives. When this happens, the Word can truly be said to be not merely a human word of a human preacher but a divine Word in which the very presence and power of Christ are mediated to us.” quote by Mark Galli
