Pentecostal Pulpit

In “Pentecostal Pulpit,” Ken Chant discusses the art of sermon delivery that captivates rather than tires the audience. Using the example of 17th-century preacher Laurence Chaderton, who could enthrall listeners for hours, Chant emphasizes modern sermons should be succinct yet compelling, aiming for a duration that keeps today’s congregations engaged. He suggests that preachers focus on ending talks on a high note, making attendees wish for more rather than feeling relieved at the conclusion. This approach encourages preachers to refine their skills to deliver messages that are both spiritually enriching and respect the listeners’ time and attention spans.
