Where Does it End?

I'm happy to get back to blogging here. We've been without a consistent connection to the internet for a couple weeks and that made blogging difficult. I know that I made promises of posting from my sermons, but it's been a shock to my system. The Maui Church of Christ doesn't have a projector or a screen, so I have no way of using PowerPoint. It's a little funny to me that with all the energy I put into promoting the use of images in preaching that I don't get to use them right now.

The question that has been on my mind recently is this: What is the end of preaching? Or to put it another way: How can I know if I've been successful as a preacher?

What do you think?
