Extending Your Sermons Beyond Sunday, Part 1
Scenario: you’re at Bob Evans having breakfast with your head deacon/elder and you ask him a question about the great sermon you delivered just two days ago. Beads of sweat appear on his brow and his face becomes flush. It’s apparent that he can’t remember a word you said or if you spoke from the Old Testament, New Testament, or the newspaper. The cinnamon pancakes taste different smothered in awkward tension that now exists between you and the soon-to-be-ousted elder. Ok, maybe it’s not that bad but the reality is that an individual only remembers a small percentage of information he hears and it’s probable that the three points and poem you preached on Sunday exists in his memory between his childhood friend’s phone number and the color of the pizza delivery guy’s shirt from last Friday.
