New Sermon Series
I was reading a post from a church leadership group and there was an article on Sermon Series — 10 Things. Well, I preach in series, so I opened it up and thought I would check to see if I am doing things right. Most of the points were really good and things I already follow. But one point said that we should aim at preaching topics that are where people live. I agree. The next thing is what threw me. He said that a friend of his often checks with the woman magazines to see the topics and then designs his series to answer those questions.
So — here is my next series:
1)How to lose that flabby butt in five days.
2)How to make your man happy in the bedroom.
3)Three secrets to getting that man to commit.
4)Styles that make you look thin.
5)How to talk to him when he won’t talk to you.
What do you think? Aren’t those winners!
I sure hope your tongue is in cheek!
I just thought that practice was one of the most stupid suggestions I had ever seen for preachers. Evidently the author had never seen a woman’s mag at the store. Magazines may answer some people’s questions, but the questions are not the ones they ask God or the church.
