What/Why is Primary Purpose of Sunday Morning Church Service

[Dr. Bob]

I am about to change churches.

Always a challenge and traumatic experience, but also always needed if it comes to that point. As a pastor I always hated to have folks leave, but would visit with them and encourage them to do what was right for them/their family. MOST often they left for the wrong reasons and family paid the price

Lot's soul was vexed daily in Sodom, but he never left until kicking and screaming. Too late for his wife and family.

Seems like a common trend, every sermon is based of some personal or internet story. Barely any scripture

Sadly, many have adopted a style of sermon giving that is nothing more than a TED talk. My home Baptist church does not have a midweek service so I have started attending a nondenominational church on Wednesday nights and they have what they call "expository preaching" which goes book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse. That way we stick strictly to scripture so that our minds do not wander on to worldly things and does not allow the pastor to avoid difficult passages. I think that's the way it should be done.

Our pastor bought a business a couple months ago. It immediately became obvious that the time he used to spend preparing sermons, he now spends running his business.
