Powerless Sermons
1 Corinthians 2:3-5
And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.…


Many a powerful sermon so called is a powerless sermon, because of the absence from it of what is invisible. The gospel preached without power is like a cloud, without rain; there is a promise of rain, but there is no water of life, and no springing up of the seed the result. The gospel preached without power is like a well with all its arrangements for drawing perfect — but without water.

(G. Pentecost.)
