Seventeenth Sunday After Pentecost

Kerygma vs Didache

Theologians use these imposing and distinct Greek words when explaining the church's ministry.

• Kerygma (or gospel proclamation) is used to ignite faith.
• Didache (or biblical and doctrinal teaching) is used to build up an understanding.

In preaching, it is essential to keep a balance between the two. However, the texts demand that we receive instruction (Didache) about the basics of the faith they seek to profess. The appointed readings for this Sunday give us an excellent opportunity to learn about the nature of faith.
