Jesus took the scroll of Isaiah, unrolled it, read it, rolled it up, and sat down. Jesus got in a boat, went a little way out, and began preaching. Paul preached for so long that Eutychus fell asleep, fell out a window, appeared to be dead, Paul revived him, brought him back upstairs, and kept on preaching. Preach Christ and let God do the rest.

No it's not "to each his own" The Holy Spirit does NOT need our help in promoting our praise and worship to the Lord. You don't ever take the secular comics and bring that into the church.

I just can't stand It when a pastor feels that he has to begin preaching with a joke. I go to church to hear the word of God. If I want comedy I will stay home and watch television. Laughing doesn't prepare me for God's word, the jokes always detract from it. So why do they still do it?

@AtTheDockOfTheBay

Жыл бұрын

They do it for several reasons, to lighten up the atmosphere (to rid it of a religious or business-like stuffiness), to endear themselves to them, make people feel happy, to gain their attention in a smooth way, because they've been taught to do it in seminary, because they hear others do it and assume it is effective, and some just want to look wise. Many of us laymen do tell jokes to our friends all the time. There's nothing wrong with it, even Spurgeon utilized it in his sermons on occasion. But it depends on the occasion and on the sermon. For instance, on Resurrection Day, I think a joke is unwarranted, the same goes for something tragic that has occurred, like a death in the congregation, or 9/11, or the Nashville shooting. But when all is well, a proper joke can lighten the burdens that some or even many have brought to church with them, which clears their heads to hear better.

@eugenelayton5231

Some do it at EVERY service. Jesus lightens my burdens so I don't need the perfunctory "joke" before the sermon. Did Jesus tell jokes before they sermon on the mount?

I remember sitting at church when I was a young teenager, and listening to the pastor preach right out of God’s word and I was in awe and I remember being so moved and that’s just it, God’s word is LIVING and is what the Lord gives us as His greatest gift and it gives us all of the information He wants us to know to live a righteous and a life pleasing to Him, as well as how we should relate to others. All of the other stuff is pure nonsense, a distraction, and from people who just want attention on themselves and are usually extremely prideful which is the opposite of how we should come to the Lord. These preachers do not have an ounce of humility either. Don’t we have enough things that distract us and entertain us?? We’ve never had so many ways of being “entertained” and interestingly, it’s the entertainers that are our culture’s idols (Gods).

The Apostle Paul says in Romans,'Do not be conformed to the world( systems and secularism),but be ye transformed by the 'renewing of your mind"( get in the Word of God)! Blessings

It takes the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus to save unsaved folks, true Pastors should stick with the Scripture, and not trying to please the flesh.

Reading the Bible is like going to school or taking medicine. Not everyone wants to do it, but it’s necessary to get and have what is needed. But this world nowadays only aims for what they want, or if one must so quaintly say it, desires.

I just subscribed to your channel and I love it. I just want to say, some things we should not be worried about and aren't even worth mentioning. I think we as Christians and Followers of Christ need to concentrate on the Bible and not what other Churches, Christians, or Pastors are doing. We shouldn't waste our time worrying about things that do not matter or things that we cannot change. If we do, it feels like we are judging others even if it seems we aren't. Blessings to you!

Coming from a series of Pastor Voddie’s teachings to this was quite a shock to the system. 💔

Lol my man's went and jumped in the water😮😢😅😅 complete silliness

Sir, This video was well articulated and full of grace and truth. It's all about the motive of why you engage in the theatrics! Heck, a person can preach with zero theatrics and have a terrible motive. You asked a great question when you asked, "Why do you do what you do?" I am not one who is drawn to all the extra theater personally, but it is unwise to condemn people for no other reason than they are extra theatrical. I think you did a great job of helping people to judge with righteous judgement in this matter. Of course, it's often hard to know the motive of a person unless God shows it to you. That's why he said that man judges the outward appearance, but God judges the heart.

Great work. This channel lives up to its name.

When I see this type of things in a church this is what I think of “I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭1‬-‭5‬

This is why I don't like most churches. It may not be a sin or it could be in some ways. I think its a waste of time and a distraction. Where the sin could possibly be is making things man centered in some displays of entertainment to hype the people up instead of just giving bible.

Let's address the real issue...what We lack in substance we make up with entertainment. In bible talk.."Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit" John 3:6

Idk Cory, Steven snapped on that chain video. It was doctrinally sound. Culturally relevant, and masterful. I know he has other videos that definitely justifies him being on this list. But that one was actually really good. But all the other videos I agree 100% lol

I have a question, and I ask for an understanding. Is placing ashes of the dead (relative) in a pendant such as a cross? Is this kind of like the individual who lay over the graves ? Any scripture to follow up on for a greater understanding?

My humble opinion is this... We can either lean on our own understanding or have a relationship with the Lord... However, we are all at different stages... The truth will set us free... So keep speaking and living the truth... Our Lord will do the rest... When it comes to how to tackle this... we need to keep in prayer and fast and be patient for the Lord to direct us... That will be done with the Holy Spirit... It is best to say nothing until the Lord gives us confirmation... Just because we read and study the Word... unless we do that guided by the Holy Spirit... then we will never have the discernement needed Life is spiritual warfare... First we must repent fully... Then we can see that much clearer

What the heck was that? I think I’ve seen a Black GI Jane shooting up a church with imaginary bullets. 😂

Jesus warned us of such preachers who preach from thier own wisdom and he said to stay away from them i would say run from them they can only injure your faith not improve it i love preacher's first who live the word who dont care for the eyes of the world upon them jsut for show but the who are after Gods heart and genuinely want to do his will who seek it daily as Christians when we are in a service we should ask ourselves are we hearing truth is the holy Ghost present thease are the last days before the triumphant return of the savoir the devil know this hes target is the churches his ideals appeal to the world let us not see it in the lords house we are the gate keepers of our faith
