Pulpit

Preaching

“Great sermons take place when flint strikes steel. When the flint of a person's problem strikes the steel of the Word of God, you get a spark, and the spark will burn. Some sermons are too "flinty": they're all problem and not much Scripture. Others are all steel and no flint: they are strong on the Bible but stop short of challenging people's lives.

What we want is some combination of the eternal Word of God striking people where they live. Preachers who can do that have a better chance of reaching the audience today and in years to come.”
