We were told not to listen to sermons on line, yet this pastor was on line with his own sermons.

While scripture should never bore us no matter how many times we hear it, a particular message from a person--especially one delivered again and again and again--can be draining.<br /><br />I think Julie Anne was clear in that the church was pleading for more nourishment. For whatever reason, the pastor was unwilling or unable to venture beyond his comfort zone. The "fruit" of his message had become rotten over time. Rather than being tired of scripture, it seems it was the opposite--that they were starving for more.SQnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861198333046479177.post-87963904269930213742012-06-11T09:19:29.816-07:002012-06-11T09:19:29.816-07:00I don't understand where you are going with th...I don't understand where you are going with these posts???? The message of the Bible shoule never bore you no matter how many times you hear it. So do you only go to Chirstmas or Easter service one time in your life? I mean you can only tell those accounts so many ways before you've heard it before. Maybe you can clarify what you are talking about.Confusednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861198333046479177.post-50456913552505724962012-06-10T22:32:45.802-07:002012-06-10T22:32:45.802-07:00...banging head against brick wall......banging head against brick wall...Steve Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297044571819912511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861198333046479177.post-37352643912165677692012-06-10T05:44:45.402-07:002012-06-10T05:44:45.402-07:00Agree!

It is our very lifeblood, and the raison d'être of the church. <br /><br />You can put a cross on the roof, a preacher with a coat and tie in the podium, and sing all the hymns you want but if that central message is not the main focus...you can't call it a New Testament church.<br /><br />And you can't stay in such a place and expect fruit.Old Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861198333046479177.post-80432437970133977432012-06-10T03:28:56.536-07:002012-06-10T03:28:56.536-07:00Very clever Julie Anne.

I will add that even though one may have a pastor who preaches expositorially, verse by verse - they can still turn that message into the same old same old.Beloved in Recoverynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4861198333046479177.post-45254428368143832732012-06-09T23:21:13.370-07:002012-06-09T23:21:13.370-07:00David, you must not have read carefully.
