Evangelical Preaching

Evangelistic preaching literally means preaching good news. Religious cultures have shifted its meaning to be that it is trying to make believers out of unbelievers. Evangelical preaching literally means preaching doctrines that are found in the four New Testament “evangels,” or the four “gospels.”

It troubles me that people who call themselves “evangelicals,” which means the core doctrines that they believe and teach can be found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, don’t preach the Kingdom of Heaven. Very little of what can be found of preaching recorded in those books is anything other than the Kingdom!
