Ineffective Preaching
1 Corinthians 14:1-24
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that you may prophesy.…


I. ITS FORMS. When the preacher —

1. Surpasses the understanding of his audience.

2. Is indefinite in his statement of truth.

3. Is pointless and unimpressive.

II. ITS FOLLY.

1. It is a waste of energy.

2. Profits nobody.

3. Occasions a fearful responsibility.

(J. Lyth, D. D.)
