Because of the Word’s authority.
Because of the Word’s relevance.
Because of the Word’s purpose.
Because of the Word’s effect.
I. Because of the Word’s magnitude.
II. Because of the Word’s authority.
1 There are a lot of folks who think when it comes to preaching that the Word is the diving board
2 Second, many people use the text, the Word of God, as the pool furniture.
3 The Word as the pool itself.
The role of the Word in the Old Testament and New Testament worship and the role of the Word today.

To transform us into the image of Christ.
Three characteristics of Christ are emphasized here.
Christ is a man accredited by God.
He was a Savior provided by God.
God purposed for His son to die to save us from our sins.
22 “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know— 23 this Jesus, delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and killed by the hands of lawless men. 24 God raised him up, loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
3. We focus on God’s stuff instead of good stuff
