IS THAT OKAY ?

First, whether you look at the prophets in the Old Testament, or Jesus preaching before the crucifixion, or the apostles preaching after the crucifixion and after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit — wherever you look in biblical preaching — Their gospel is against Sin ! 

 For example, to look to the prophets, here’s Malachi 3:5:
I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.

In other words, they named the sins; that’s the way they preached. 

Take Jesus’s examples:
On the sin of lust: “If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away” (Matthew 5:29).
Or greed: “Woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation” (Luke 6:24).
Or hypocrisy: “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!” (Matthew 23:29).

Also Paul: “Flee from sexual immorality” (1 Corinthians 6:18).
Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9–10)

So the prophets, Jesus, the apostles — this is the way they preach. They named sins and they denounced them, and they called for repentance and obedience in the power of the glorious good news of forgiveness that they preached.

 So if a pastor wants to find an authority for preaching that does not name and denounce and call for repentance from sins, he’s not going to find it in the Bible.
