Jesus: The Prince of Preachers

How do you know if a pastor has faithfully preached the Word? How do you evaluate a sermon? What is effective, biblical preaching? What role do you play as the congregation in the preaching of God's Word?
As pastors, we are charged by Christ Jesus to preach the WORD. The inerrant, authoritative God-breathed Scriptures. Not trite stories, not motivational talks, not political speeches, not personal testimonies that are all about ourselves and never get to the Bible.
In Luke Chapter 4, we have an actual sermon from the mouth of Jesus Himself. Jesus was the greatest preacher to ever live.
