One of the main goals of preaching is to connect the world of the biblical text with the world of the church congregation. To achieve this goal, the preacher must first secure the methodology of biblical interpretation from the right perspective and a balanced understanding of the situation of the audience. As a method of biblical interpretation from a legitimate point of view, the researcher presented a method of biblical interpretation from the perspective of ‘preaching intertextuality’. This methodology begins by first studying the context of the pre-text cited in the text. And the author’s awareness of the reader’s context is studied. Only then can we study the biblical text itself, which requires contextual, grammatical, and literary studies. Finally, the author’s intention to achieve (post-text) is derived, and the intention of the text is directly connected to the central idea of the text. For a balanced audience understanding, the researcher pursued a three-fold audience understanding. In the relation to God, the audience is a theological being, in the relation to the Bible, the audience is a hermeneutic being, and in the relation to the preacher, the audience is a communicative being. The audience, as a theological being, possesses the identity of covenant theology, but is in the paradoxical tension of faith because they are treading the order of salvation. The audience, as a hermeneutic being, has been relieved of tension with God through the Bible, but the tension with the Bible is still there. For this audience, the preacher must make the audience realize that they are standing on the line of redemptive history through the contextualization of the five-step logos. Audiences as communicative beings are affected by the speaker’s audience view and require effective communication strategies.
