Greetings, all.
Question for you. Just how bad is it for a church to have a Sunday with no sermon?
I had never heard of such a thing until this past Sunday. At my in-laws' church, in lieu of a sermon, they had a missionary speak on the work she was doing in Jordan. It turns out that the church has skipped preaching in the past, with singing-only services. (They have also had non-ordained speakers from time to time, sometimes women.)
This is a Korean Methodist church. It's obviously quite a liberal denomination.
Is it wrong to not have a sermon? It certainly seems wrong. (Acts 2:42 comes to mind.) If it is wrong, what should be done about it?
Thank you. I appreciate your help.
