On the first day of the week, as we gathered together for a meal, Paul was holding a discussion with them. Since he was leaving the next day, he continued talking until midnight. There were many lamps in the upstairs room where we had gathered. A young man named Eutychus was sitting in the window. He was sinking into a deep sleep as Paul talked on and on. When he was sound asleep, he fell from the third floor and died. Paul went down, fell on him and embraced him, then said, “Don’t be alarmed. He’s alive!” Then Paul went back upstairs and ate. He talked for a long time—right up until daybreak—then he left. They took the young man away alive, and they were greatly comforted. (Acts 20:7-12, CEB)
Paul preached so long that someone fell asleep, fell out a window, and died. Then Paul took a break and went down to see the person who had fallen, and fell on him, and brought him back to life. Went back upstairs and ate, then went right back to preaching.
That my friends is a long sermon.
But that is the power of the teaching of God.
