Why sermons?

You know there is an old saying you can catch more flies with honey than you can do with vinegar... So you are asking yourself what does that have to do with sermons?... I see sermons walking around every day... I see people doing the works of God... Are they in church?... I don't know, does it matter?... I'm not saying all are guilty, if the shoe fits wear it... You won't see goats doing sheep work and you won't see sheep doing goats work... Get the picture?... I think the biggest problem keeping people out of church is not because they don't believe in Jesus Christ and want to follow him but because they observe those who are not!... Like I say again if this doesn't fit your church, it doesn't apply to you... I agree with Kentucky, Salvation is everyday... Just because you hear a sermon in church doesn't mean your going to live the sermon you heard... Like I say some will and some won't... I'm I stepping on toes?... Sometimes stepping on my own too... Sometime we ALL become to judgmental... Now to get to the positive... One thing I do like about the internet is those who cannot for some reason attend church, they can click on any website of their choosing and hear one, I attend church but I do listen on line too... If they don't like what they are hearing they can turn it off but may be if they listen for awhile, they may get something out of it... Ever been to church, and message didn't connect?... May be the sermon wasn't meant for you and was directed to someone else?... Just some thoughts that have been weighing on my heart and mind... Carry on brethren!... Brother Glen:)
So..... is it your opinion that PB elders direct sermons at a particular person(s) as opposed to messages meant for entire congestion's?

No!... Steve that is not what I'm saying... It is directed at the whole congregation but it may have more impact on one more than another... The preacher, preaches and the Lord directs the message, where he needs it to go... I've observed many PB preachers over the years because a brother introduced a passage the PB preacher will preach on the subject introduced... Now the preacher may have had a different message in mind and he will say so as he goes in the stand, did he change his mind?... No the Lord changed it for him... He was prepared to give one and the Lord prepared him to give another... You know I've heard PB preaching over 50 years and I've seen some fall flat on their face... The Lord can humble the most ablest preacher... You're just a messenger, preach his message not your own... Brother Glen:)
