We’ve all been there, listening to a bad sermon. Here are some tell-tale signs of bad preaching.
- Preacher says, “Open up that book, the Holy something or other…”
- Sermon title: “Jesus: The Ultimate Backup Plan”
- Bible passage to be preached is mentioned at the beginning, but never referenced again
- Sermon is pay-per-view
- Sermon title: “Jesus’ Three Favorite Disciples: Peter, Paul, and Mary”
- Pastor dozes off during his sermon intro
- Ushers hand out No-Doze and energy drinks with the offering plate
- Sermon title: “Understanding the Trinity: God and Those Other Two”
- Preacher says, “Open up your King Arthur Bibles…”
- The Bible is never opened
