Is there anything more satisfying to a minister than knowing he or she has preached a sermon that’s a real winner?
The subject of the message was understandable. The response called for was both appropriate and practical. More importantly, God has been truly honored.
People attend church to hear a word from the Lord, and this was one of those times when His thoughts were made unmistakably clear.
What’s even better, in my mind, is when such a powerful sermon is surrounded by service elements that not only fit the theme of the spoken word, but enhance the overall church experience. How the worship relates to the message is obvious. There are no dangling unrelated service parts that detract from the whole. Instead, the various ingredients all work together in a delightful mix.
It took teamwork, including good communication and working ahead, to pull this off. But the end result was gratifying to all.
Was it worth the effort required?
You tell me.
Is there a difference between simply hitting a single home run and knocking one out of the park when the bags are loaded?
