Christian preaching served as a vehicle of the Church to transmit God’s word as revealed in the Bible to humankind, and especially to strengthen the faith of the Christians down the centuries. This article does not engage with the genres or methods of preaching (expository, topical, narrative etc.), but asks what comprises the elements of a sermon and effective preaching? Several homileticians have proposed several metaphors to answer this question. This article proposes a highway journey as a metaphor of preaching, and discusses the elements involved in effective preaching through the five vowels.
