Lately I've been wondering... What do you do when a co-worker at your church gives a rubbish sermon?
Not just a dull sermon, or an averagely presented sermon, but a outrageously crap drivel.
I'm torn, because I've been in the situation before and (almost certainly) placed others in the predicament.
I want to say that you tell them the truth. They could/should have done better... They tried to be too creative and lost everyone... They didn't connect with the audience... They offered a dry, dull, monotonous diatribe... They were just plain wrong in what they said.
I want to take a hard line because the results effect the church.
A rubbish sermon may turn those away who are church-shopping. Similarly, those who are turning to the church for answers will continue searching elsewhere once confronted with a non-scenically ramble.
Then again, there could be extenuation circumstances that contributed to the poor showing and maybe grace should be shown...
I don't always hit it out of the park...
