Are you preaching to form disciples or to perform a good sermon?

Are you preaching for performance? Like is AI? Are you using AI to form a word for the people? Are you trying to perform a good sermon? Too many of our sermons are trying to be TikTok clips. So are you preaching to form disciples or are you preaching to perform a good sermon? Because let me tell you this, if you can't preach before AI, you ain't gonna be able to preach after AI. Number two, here's the biggest one I see with a lot of pastors. Are you using AI to avoid intimacy with God, the text, and God's people? Preaching is hard. Say it again. Preaching is hard. You've got to deal with yourself to get up and not bleed on those people and cuss them out every week. Come on, talk to me, somebody. And if preaching ain't hard, you ain't doing it right. Amen, somebody. My professor, Dr. Harris, said to me once, he said, justin, he said, the only blood people should see on that desk every Sunday is Jesus'. He said, if you bleed on that desk, you have gotten in the way of the cross. Preaching is hard.
