Your Chance to Give Feedback to Preachers

Pastor Joe Thorn (Redeemer Fellowship, St. Charles, IL) has posted questions for those who regularly listen to sermons.  Pastors are not allowed to participate.  This is a chance for those who listen to preaching to give feedback.  As one who preaches, I’m very interested to read the responses.

Click here to read Joe’s post.  It might seriously help preachers if you posted a response.  Joe asks people in the pew to respond to these questions:

1. What would you like to hear more of from the pulpit?

2. When is a sermon too long?

3. Do you listen to “celebrity” preachers (Driscoll, Piper, etc.) via MP3’s, CDs? If so, who?

4. Do you critique your pastor’s preaching by comparing him to the celebrity preachers? Be honest.

5. In general, are you applying the sermon you hear on Sunday to your life throughout the week?

  1. 1. Salvation clearly spoken of for the lost and energizing the saved to infect us with a burden for the lost
    2. When it is no longer from God
    3. Before I come to church
    4. No
    5. I am trying to apply the sermon, I find it sticks better if I read and pray every day

  2. 1. God’s word preached unapologetically. Even when it’s unpopular.
    2. When it is too repetitive.
    3. Not very often anymore…Lack of time. James McDonald, Nancy Leigh Demoss or Family Life Today.
    4. Generally no, on occasion I remember positively comparing, like wow that was really powerful…like the sermon I heard James McDonald preach. I haven’t thought “man I wish my pastor would preach like so and so.”
    5. Typically, I am able to find something very meaningful each week that God says you know, you need to work on that. I will try to remember it and apply each week. Sometimes more successfully than others.

    Hi Chris…. we miss seeing you! 😉

  3. 1) more sermons pertaining to current life’s problems 2)If the preaching is inspiring who cares how long it lasts. 100 years ago they were at church all day on Sunday 3)yes, D. James Kennedy, John Hagee, Chuck Swindoll 4)No, I don’t compare them to each other either. 5) Some weeks are easier than others of course, and some sermons sort of ‘lose me’.

  4. 1. I like to hear about how God’s word relates to everyday life’s problems…and how to deal with them through Him.
    2. Honestly, time doesn’t seem to be a factor when I am interested.
    3. Not very often, anymore. However, I do watch the 700 club everytime I have a chance. Does that count?
    4. Never
    5. I ALWAYS try to.
