I preach an average of 30 minutes each Sunday. I try hard to keep my message on track by 1) tell them what you're going to tell them, 2) tell them, 3)tell them what you told them 4) shut up!

I used to know a preacher with that philosophy. His problem was that what he usually had to say wasn't worth hearing the first time, so two more times of the same thing was not very pleasant.


Yeah, that could be a problem if the content is awful!

That must be why people drift off during sermons!

HI THERE.

HEY NICE GOGLE -- WHERE DID YOU GET IT?

WELL HOW LONG IS MOST SERMONS

THE EARLIEST PART OF MY VOLUNTEER EVANGILICAL -- I USED TO PREACH AT LEAST 30 MINUTES TO 40 MINUTES -- THEN I SING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO 10 MINUTES

THEN I JUST STARTED TO PREACH ABOUT 20 MINUTES

THEN NOW I PREACH ONLY FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES

THE PEOPLE THAT I PREACHED TO STARTED IN 2003 -- THEY WERE SENIORS

NOW THEY ARE 6 YEARS OLDER

YOU CAN PRAY FOR THEM FOR ME -- WILL YOU?

I STILL PREACHED TO THEM -- BUT SOME ARE GONE AND THERE ARE NEW ONES

THEY ARE SO LOVEABLE AND REALLY NICE PEOPLE

GOOD LUCK

THE BEST SERMON IS EITHER -- SALVATION

OR THEORY -- OR TOPICAL

I DID ALL OF THEM

I CALL THEORY IN THERE INCLUDED ALSO HISTORY

I want to slap everyone who stops and looks at their watch every five minutes.

A time too many we forget who's house we're in and exactly why we're there.

Perhaps, just perhaps, people are looking at their watches is because it isn't His message being preached, but the man behind the pulpit's message.

BTW, I don't think I've looked at my watch during a sermon since we started having a worship service begin at 8:30AM. It never made sense to me to give the preacher the pulpit at 15 minutes before noon and expect people to ignore their stomach that has been programmed to take sustenance at noon the other 6 days of the week.

There's some truth to that, but I've also seen the opposite.

The sermon is usually about 10 minutes.
