One of the most memorable sermons I ever heard was based on one three-letter word, “and.” I heard Bernard Phaup preach in Virginia when I was in my twenties. He used three passages where he emphasized only one word:
Luke 1:67—“His father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied.”
Acts 2:4—“All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Acts 4:3—“…they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.”
I don’t recall anything else he said except one line he kept repeating: “When you are filled with the Holy Spirit there is always an and.”
