Preaching to the unseen audience

My last post about ministers needing to be tech savvy, i was reminded about the unseen listeners located when giving a sermon.

Whenever giving a sermon i don't give a whole lot of on weight to the physical number in the building (it's nice if the number is larger than you expect though!) since the message can go beyond those who are present.

Your sermon can come up in future conversations during the week. Or a point remembered and used years later. I still use old sermon notes that i took years ago.

More likely, if you post your sermons online (thus the benefits of a tech savvy minister), they can minister to anyone with a computer.

In theory, the sermon that you deliver before 30 people, can reach well beyond the churches walls.
