What is spirit inspired Christ centered preaching, was the topic for teaching today. Several who are in a role of preaching and teaching came to learn. A current issue in preaching is one where the Holy Spirit is targeted to be glorified and not so much Jesus. A key verse Acts 4:7 demonstrated this point as the Holy Spirit filled Peter, answered the rulers with focus on Jesus.
Acts 4:8-12 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.' Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." (NIV)
