The responsibility of a preacher is to proclaim the “good news” of God’s salvation that He offers through His Son, Jesus Christ. While preachers are not formally ordained (by the church or anyone else), they are “called” to the ministry by virtue of the need at hand and each man’s desire to fulfill that need (Romans 10:14-15, Colossians 1:28). This is a sobering and challenging work, and not every man is suited for it (James 3:1). However, it carries with it the honor of proclaiming the most important message on the planet to all who are in need of it—which is everyone.
