The church needs constantly to hear God's Word. Hence the central place of preaching in public worship. Preaching is not an intrusion into it but rather indispensable to it. For the worship of God is always a response to the Word of God. John Stott, "The Bible: Book for Today" (Leicester: IVP, 1982),
p. 57.
