Matthew wrote that Jesus told the disciples to
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you."
One can preach about Jesus to the unsaved. According to a dictionary preaching is to speak, plead or argue in favor of. But you have to teach people to observe all that Jesus taught. According to the same dictionary teach means impart skills or knowledge to; accustom gradually to some action or attitude.
Our formal service permits only preaching. A preacher should be out preaching while back at the home front elders should be teaching. We have neither. We have a key note speaker.
