Ever wonder what you’re doing when you preach a sermon? Ever pause, in awe, of the sheer magnitude such responsibility carries, yet then rest in the assurance of God’s sovereignty and grace? Ever consider what role the sermon has in the life of Christ’s body, the Church?
The sermon is revelation not education, good news not knowledge, formation not just information, saving truth not just wisdom.
–Samuel Wells, God’s Companions: Reimagining Christian Ethics, 166
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it.
Nice quote!!
