<![CDATA[Matthew chapters 5-7 are commonly called the Sermon of Christ on the Mount. The opening (Matt. 5:1-2) and concluding verses (Matt. 7:28-29) affirm that Jesus taught with divine authority. Through a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this article interprets both passages from a Pentecostal point of view, relating them to homiletics. The findings of the study show that the delivery of the word is not just a human task, but an act of divinity because: the Holy Spirit anoints the preacher, the preacher has spiritual authority, and the powerful preaching causes wonder.
