Ministering the Word of God is important because according to the Bible, the Word of God is quick-or living-- and powerful (Hebrews 4:12). Jesus said the words He spoke are spirit and they are life (John 6:63). It goes without saying that the only time that we are ministering the Word of God is when what we preach and teach is based upon the Scriptures. In this episode, Evangelist Frank King teaches on the importance of ministering the Word of God.

The most important part of morning worship in a local church is the ministry of God’s Word. Some local churches have amazing music ministries. Their praise team and/or choir know how to usher the people into worship. But the goal of all of that must be to set the stage for preaching. That’s when the people get to hear from God through His Word.

Of course, not all preaching and teaching is the same. That brings us to the importance of sound doctrine. By sound doctrine, we mean sound teaching. Sound doctrine is important because it assures us that we are walking in truth. There is only one way to provide sound doctrine. That’s through ministering the Word of God.

In 1 Peter 2:2, Peter writes, “Like newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” (NASB). By the pure milk of the word, Peter means the unadulterated or undiluted word. Believers can’t properly grow through watered down preaching. Admittedly, a minister can grow an audience with watered down preaching. But a congregation built on a diluted version of the Word of God will not be spiritually strong.
