Like many preachers, one of my favorite things to read are sermons from the past. Whether it's Martyn Lloyd-Jones or the golden-mouthed John Chrysostom, I’m always intrigued by how faithful men throughout the ages have communicated God's Word to their hearers. But also, like many of you, I find myself struck by how different much of our modern preaching is from that of the saints of old.
I don’t mean different merely in terms of tone or eloquence or even what some might call “power,” though there are differences there as well. I mean different in method and emphasis. Our modern sermons, by and large, seem like entirely different specimens than what I find in the pages of Samuel Davies or Charles Spurgeon, for instance.
