Sermon Illustrations

Once on a ship liner on a journey through the Atlantic Ocean, the apostle Smith Wigglesworth was in the Great Banquet Hall where all the guests and ship staff gathered together to have a gala time. And everyone was having a jolly good time getting drunk and making merry. (Sounds like our present time). Then everyone was asked to make a presentation just to boost the drinking atmosphere and to get everyone more drunk.

What would you do if you were in the same situation as Smith Wigglesworth? Would you go back to your room and lock yourself in and pray? Would you excused yourself and pretend that you are busy or having an upset stomach? Not Smith Wigglesworth. He stayed through the whole time even though he did not sing or dance along with them.

When it came to his turn to give a presentation, he gladly went up, took the microphone and began to sing a gospel hymn giving praise to God and asking for the repentance of every listener resulting in bringing tears to many. What a Bold man.

Smith saw the opportunity to witness to the unbelievers and a wonderful chance to preach to the captive audience. What do you see when in such a situation?
