It may be easier to know what preaching is not than what it is. It’s not sharing some golden thoughts about a biblical text. Preaching is not a Bible study. This is not a conference. Preaching isn’t a comedy, so what is it?In a very simple way, preaching is the proclamation of the word of God by men to other human beings.

It also tries to track development and major biblical themes, such as the arrival of the promise of the?Seed,pact, inheritance, the person and work of the messiah, etc. This discipline will help the preacher understand where his text is in the historical and redeeming flow of biblical revelation.
Systematic theology aims to give us an understanding of all God’s counsel. Systematics define biblical revelation in a logical arrangement of topics ranging from God to the last things. This allows the preacher to understand the interrelationship between the various doctrines of the Bible.
