Have you ever preached a zero-impact-at-ground-zero sermon? Let me explain what I mean. Ground zero is the point at which an explosion originated. If a bomb is dropped - ground zero is where it hit. When we as pastors preach or when a Bible teacher teaches - ground zero should be our own life. The effect of the sermon or lesson will relate directly to the impact that sermon or lesson had on the one giving it. Let me put it this way - you can't teach what you don't know, and if it hasn't impacted you, any passion you try to put into a message will be purely manufactured passion.
