Need help for a starving family

MrDanger · Postby **MrDanger** » February 5th, 2008, 10:14 am

While we were in Kansas this weekend I received a phone call from a member of the Jude 2 community. Their family is starving and some of you can help.

It seems that their pastor only thinks its a good sermon if they are red in the face feelin' the nointin' (that's southern for anointing). The church has members that are at a higher level than that. They are starving from the milk and ready for substance. The problem is, for the most part, they are a smaller church so the "deeper" pastors typically don't make the rounds there. So, they continue to be fed shallow stuff. They are desperate.

How are they surviving? Online sermons.

So, here is how you can help feed this family. I know some of you do internet broadcasts of your services. Would you please post the link for them? Now only if it is deep. No more shallow stuff. They aren't interested in you getting your shout on. The Word. They want to be fed.

p.s. Before you get into any questions about why they stay, the 40 or so of them that attend are very close and they love the church and how service (servanthood) oriented it is.

p.s.s. They didn't ask me to do this but didn't bring it up because their pastor lurks and they didn't want to hurt his/her feelings.

At the risk of tooting my own horn, I agonize over every message and try hard to leave the people well-fed. I use stories and illustrations, but the meat is God's Word.

(More than a year of Sunday messages, almost all expository teaching through specific books of the Bible.)

More recently, teaching through the Book of Mark: http://www.reunionhawaii.com/podcast/index.php (and click on "January" for more)

If you have iTunes, you can search for "The Word from Windward" and subscribe (FREE) for download to your computer/iPod. The recent stuff is under "Reunion Podcast Feed."

I hope the folks you mentioned are blessed and encouraged by the Word, and will overlook the feeble vessel used as the messenger.

Just curious, should one refrain from sharing if they are a red in the face preacher, even if there is substance to the message? Is it the style as well as the lack of substance they dislike? Or is it just the lack of strong meat?

That was funny, whether intentional or not. Those two -- meat/red-in-the-face -- are not always mutually exclusive, but are so often it has become a litmus test. :lol:

Feel free to stroke out! Just have substance. :lol:

By the way, it doesn't have to be your own church. If you have a ministry that you enjoy online, feel free to share it.

I enjoy Rob Bell's church in Michigan

Kimmy enjoys Jon Courson (his style is a lot like PG's - scripture by scripture)

I have heard reports of starving congregations as well.

I would recommend www.Oneplace.com to find an assortment of preachers (all are not recommnedable).

I would also include www.desiringgod.org for the preaching and seminars.
