Preaching is a "sacred service" (Romans 15:16). The word of God differs from any form of human speech because it aims to convey God's will to humans, to reveal and transmit the message of God's love, the assurance that "God is with us" in every situation of our lives. This is especially true when the word of God is heard and offered within the context of the Divine Liturgy, in which the Word "becomes flesh" and is offered to humans for communion. Within this framework, preaching must be offered with awe and attention so as not to disrupt the worshipful atmosphere created by the Divine Liturgy.
