What Kind of Preacher are You?

"The Contemporary"
Sermon prep includes perusing movie clips because, well, there's so much spiritual truth to be found in there.

"The Spirit-Led"
Prepares only one quarter of the message because the rest is sure to come on Sunday.

"The Artist"
Brainstorms what kind of objects can be handed out at the entrance to confuse the attenders until the sermon reveals their purpose.

"The Exegeter"
Uses a dictionary to prepare for sermons because the audience surely wants to know the correct definition of a word before it is expounded upon.

"The Verse by Verse"
It's Easter, but gosh darn it, you're in Habakuk by God's sovereignty, so Habakuk it is.

"The Ranter"
Can somehow insult the congregation week after week, but they like it and come back for more, because of an off-the-charts likability factor.

"The Nooma"
Frequently supplements sermons with melancholy video segments that feature themselves musing on subjects in interesting locations.

"The Visionary"
Somehow every sermon ends with the same application - the church's short-coming to reach the entire city for Christ - regardless of how the message starts out - stewardship, marriage, worry, doesn't matter.

Just having a little more fun today. =)

This is just greatness. :)

Can you mix these like Jelly Bellys? What about the "Spirit led-Nooma-Ranter" - Plans nothing for his sermon except for a Rob Bell video on "Breathe" and then tells the congregation they are sucking the life out of him with all their hot air.

These are great Ben!

The "verse by verse preacher" doesn't even see the holidays approaching. I can't even imagine sitting in the book of Habakkuk during Easter. Good stuff!
