No longer resonates??? Au contraire. One of the most resonating sermons that I had ever heard was from an earlier pastor of my church. The subject of his homily was what it was like to go to Hell. He spoke for quite a long time, as he gave biblical and theological explanations of what it meant to find oneself in a state of damnation after death. Even though the sermon was long, I remember noticing that except for his voice, you could hear a pin drop in the church. He did not speak in loud, theatrical tones, but in a calm, reasoned manner.
I wish I could recall the details, but I think he was speaking directly to my heart and my soul, so specifics are not so much in my memory banks as are the emotions I experienced. I was absolutely terrified.
One impression I do remember is an image he painted of watching God's eternal love, like the sun in a solar system, gradually growing smaller and smaller, as if I were on a spaceship hurtling out into the cold of space. It became like a pin prick, and then it was gone, and I was left in the eternal torment of being separated from Him. I will never forget it.
Does your church tape sermons.
