Power through Preaching

The average man's idea of a good sermon is one that goes over his head-and hits his neighbors. –Barber

 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18

Immunizations, antibiotics, and personal hygiene have helped eradicate many different diseases that once would have wiped out entire cities. If the citizens of those cities would have ignored medical advice they would have lost their families and friends. Such as is the world today when it comes to preaching…

Preachers stand up each week proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus—“the antibiotic, the immunization,” the only way to clean a sin sick life up. Yet, many close their ears, ignoring the prescribed cure for their sin sick state. They will find themselves one day looking for The Cure but it will be too late.

            Some hear the Word of God preached and get save but you never see them again. They are missing out on the source of their daily strength and power. Are you forsaking the source of your strength?
