Years ago in Bible college I studied under a Christian education professor who constantly reminded us “What’s the worst method of teaching? The one that’s used all the time!” Given the decline of Christianity in this country, and especially Christian living even among churchgoers, I think we need to face the possibility that the effectiveness of the traditional sermon is very highly overrated.

Church gatherings have come along way since they gathered in homes to hear read, the letters of the Paul, Timothy and others. To share their stories of faith, miracles and abuse and to help each other.
Then the dynamic nature of the increasing number of believers, the lack of literacy or even obtain a copy of the letters themselves, created a natural need to hear and understand.
In today’s modern organized church, the Preacher and the whole church “service” culture has taken on an entirely different function. Maybe it’s what the modern Preachers are doing during their time in the pulpit that is causing it’s death???
