John Stott I Believe in Preaching London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1982 p98 A helpful quotation from Derek Thomas “It is often said, and truly, that sermons must teach, and the current level of knowledge (ignorance, rather) in the Christian world is such that the need for sermons that teach cannot be questioned for one moment. But preaching is essentially teaching plus application (invitation, direction, summons); where the plus is lacking, something less than preaching occurs. And many in the church have never experienced preaching in this full biblical sense of the word.” Derek Thomas
