Emphasis Preaching Journal

Several years ago in England, a man wrote to the editor of the British Weekly. In his letter, the writer reported that he could not remember any sermons preached in any of the churches he had attended. Because of that, the man questioned whether sermons were really as important as preachers thought they were. "I have been attending a church service for the past 30 years and I have heard probably 3,000 sermons," wrote the man. "To my consternation," he continued, "I discovered that I cannot remember a single sermon!"
