📜 Biblical foundation
The Greek word for preaching is κηρύσσω (kēryssō), it means: to make something publicly known, to call out loud, to proclaim with authority. A Kērux was a herald in antiquity, someone who spoke in the name of the king. His message was not his opinion, but an official commission.
