This article seeks to reemphasize the priority of preaching in the church’s global mission. Current crises and sophisticated cultural resistance to the proclamation of the gospel tempt pastors, missionaries, and church leaders to reevaluate the most effective methods for ministry. Key texts are examined and applied to support the position that the methodologi- cal priority of preaching transcends generational, cultural, and historical contexts and that the preaching of the word is missionally effective in our current globalized context. KEYWORDS: Preaching, eschatology, man of God, word of Christ, mission
