Last week I saw an open air preacher. For me, even being at university, this is unusual.
It was at the entrance of a large event in Sydney and, from all appearances, the guy wasn’t being listened to by anyone especially.
I didn’t stop to listen.
But I did wonder about open air preaching...
If that guy was at the entrance of the event for a few hours, does he keep delivering fresh material, or does he just keep repeating the same sermon?
With a transient crowd, having fresh sermons seems redundant due to the constant refreshment of the audience.
But, with an crowd with only a few moments to listen, would you be prepared to say the same sermon - say going ten minutes - 30 times in a row?
How do you decide which sermon is the one worthy of the airtime?
Also, what would happen if someone does stick around for a sizeable chunk of time or was stuck within earshot?
