Trial Run
I drove past a Baptist Church the other day. Their sign read "Bro. Jones Trial Sermon this Sunday." What would happen if Bro. Jones preached poorly? Would the people not vote him in as pastor?
I can just see Bro. Jones walking up to the pulpit and saying, "Good morning people. I am so glad to be here. If you are hoping for me to feed your egos, challenge your beliefs, and while being entertaining, then Im not your pastor.
The pulpit is not a place for trials, but a place of proclamation. Id rather be a pastor that embodies the word, but is a terrible comedian, and knows no poems.
