I heard a story about two guys talking about sermons. The first guy is complaining about preachers and their sermons: “I went to church for years but I forgot the sermon by the next day. So, I figured, ‘What’s the use in going to church and listening to a sermon if I can’t even remember it a day later?’” The other fellow says, “You know I can’t recall anything I had to eat this week but something tells me I did eat. In fact, if I hadn’t eaten, I would have noticed that. I can’t help but think sermons are like that. Even if I don’t remember them for long, it doesn’t mean they didn’t do me some good. They feed me despite the fact I can’t recall all the words.”This book is dedicated to pastors who labor each Sunday to find a way to nourish their congregations. No doubt some meals (i.e. sermons) are better than others, but thanks be to God for preachers who want to provide a meal each week for the parishioners looking for something to sustain them for the week, or perhaps, just for an hour.
