On Preaching Amidst a Pandemic

I have been thinking about preaching in such a time as this.

There is no room for silly jokes, gimmicks, off-topic intros, or any of the other stuff that has made for “successful” sermonizing in the latter 20th and early 21st centuries.

No, we, like all the preachers who preached before the advent of modern obstetrics and penicillin, stand now before a whole congregation of people collectively wondering if this could be their last Sunday.

In the age of COVID-19 we all know the weight of a single breath — let’s not waste it.
