As the Trust exists to increase the number of churches with excellent preaching, we really should define what we mean. We respect that others may have different views, but we define excellent preaching as:
- Biblical: Emanating from and relying on God’s living and active word, the Bible
- Spiritual: A co-working with the Spirit and delivered with His power
- Impactful: Bringing God’s holy word to bear on sinners, challenging and changing them towards God
- Evangelistic: Calling sinners (including Christians) to the cross
- Equipping: Teaching believers the ways of Jesus, equipping for ministry and leading into action
- Engaging: Presented well and with passion; captivating, not a dull, dry lecture
