Preaching Out of Season: Preaching Right When Things Are Wrong
Friday, October 25 & Saturday, October 26, 2024
“Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2) calls for a seasonal consciousness in preaching, recognizing that God’s truth must be spoken not only when it is convenient or well-received, but also in times of resistance and struggle. To preach out of season means to deliver God’s message even when it’s unwelcome, challenging the status quo, or when the world seems most against it. This is a call to remain faithful, offering hope and conviction in moments when the truth feels most out of place yet most needed.
The above text weighs heavy the responsibility of the preacher to preach responsibly regardless of the season. There should be a seasonal consciousness to our preaching. We don’t preach the same thing, or the same way all the time. Just as there are noted and radical changes in our weather patterns, there are notedradical changes in our world.
Everything has shifted! From our most basic human relations to the complex patterns of social, political, economic, educational, judicial and religious systems. Like the inarguable climate change, everything seems to be going wrong. Yet, we have a responsibility to preach right, even when things are so painfully wrong.
Preaching right demands that we adjust out sermonic lens and messages to the season in which we now live.The Bay Area Academy of Responsible Preaching, seeks to raise our seasonal consciousness, so that we can responsibly preach when things are wrong.
