Preaching can open a portal to timeless sacred space through which we may experience God's presence. Sermons guide worshippers to a safe place where God's transformational power is encountered and change, that may be ritually affirmed, occurs. Eight sermons enabled one congregation to discern that which it considered sacred. Physical and liminal spaces within church and home were named and claimed as sacred, most notably a newly constructed annex became a sacred precinct. Perceptions of sacredness increased as preaching guided the congregation toward its mission, fostered a cadre of leaders and provided the vocabulary for spiritual dialogue.
