God gives every speaker certain gifts, certain qualities to their delivery message. For some, they give great sermons and use a manuscript to guide them through. Paul said preach the word. Just preach. The Holy Spirit will fill in the rest. Oh boy, the Holy Spirit excuse for not trying to get better or perfecting your craft strikes again…….. It just feels like there is more at stake in terms of truth and faithfulness to the text and, most importantly, the Author.

Jonathan Pokluda David Marvin Watch. Sermons encourage spiritual apathy and a spectator mindset. One said God gave her a talent for music. But talent is not a spiritual gift.

It just sort of seemed primed for depressing clarifications that would leave you, well, depressed. Thank you! Sometimes I just ask the Lord what He wants to say. He knows what we need and how to preach it. The anointing makes all the difference. Great post! I stumbled onto your material looking for leadership content and often find really good overlap in the content you have for pastors.
Once in a while a post or podcast will change the way I think about something, this is one of those. Thanks and keep up the good work! It seems to me that Jesus had two way conversations which started with examples that evoked mental, oral or even physical responses. Who said they are bored? Maybe we are the ones who are bored and need some spiritual refreshment and less time with the media trivialities.
Just my personal opinion. Thank you. Sometimes the congregation expects the preacher to hit one ball after another out of the ballpark with every single sermon preached. When I realized that the pastor of the church I attend is not capable of this, I just look at his chin and pretend to pay attention.

If I were hones, at times, I have been. And I think boring dishonors God.
The message Bible never changes, but our methods must. Being spiritual and skillful are not mutually exclusive. Oh look, he speaks to sinners and outcasts, in their language, as if they matter. How shameful! Please understand I mean no malice. Pastors as shepherds have a responsibility to preach and teach the text in context.
That is the biblical office of pastor. I mean nothing personal to anyone here. I see marketing, emotional manipulation and a new business model for the church and frankly, it disgusts me.
