Critical Role of Contextualization in Preaching

Contextualization plays a pivotal role in developing one's preaching voice, especially in addressing the counter narratives to the gospel in the particular context one operates in. By confronting, addressing, and offering a more compelling story than the prevailing narratives, one can make headway in forming the community in the image of Jesus. The process includes understanding the cultural contexts and socio-cultural nuances, emphasizing the need to preach divine truth to a specific people in a particular place.
