Preaching problems

THE SCENARIO
I have always felt a preacher’s job was not to entertain but to deliver God’s word faithfully, and this I have tried to do over my many years as a preacher. Lately I have begun to fear I am boring my congregation – they seem fidgety and disengaged. I don’t know if this is because people have lost the ability to concentrate and listen to simple words without images and music and jokes and so on, or if I have – forbid the thought – indeed become boring. Do you have any advice for me?
