Definition of Bad:
Bad preaching is preaching which delivers little or no spiritual food.
What do you do if you go to a restaurant where there is little or no edible food?
Do you pray for the chef?

I have been in church services where the pastor talked bad about his wife, sexualized her in front of the congregation, and proceeded to wrap his sermon around stuff from people’s Facebook page. That is the absolute worst! I have sat under some good preaching, but there have been some oddball instances I have witnessed. You have to be very careful in church. You need to take your Bible, pray for those ministering, and pray that young/impressionable Christians don’t get led astray. I get shocked sometimes at the inappropriate way some preachers talk or treat members of their congregation from the pulpit. Some use the pulpit as a place to air out their bad feelings towards family members and members of the congregation. Sad state of affairs and God is not pleased. But, He is merciful obviously since these people are able to continue this nonsense.

Love the post.

Unfortunately most of us are focused more on the preacher, instead of the Word of God being preached :[

I have had experiences of “Bad” preaching but i still do believe in my heart every preaching will always be an avenue of God to talk to us and spread His word. it maybe bad because of the preacher’s ability but the WORD he preaches doesn’t change. What’s important is the heart who will receive the WORD.

God Bless!

Eeek! Hope no one thinks I am a bad preacher!!

I have only ever heard a few “bad” sermons, and that isn’t because the Preacher was bad… it was just that their beliefs were not doctrinally sound. In particular one man based his message on his cultural and his generational beliefs. My husband and I spoke to our Pastor about this – and that was it. It’s not up to us to “do” anything else.

As a preacher, if I delivered a “bad” sermon, I would not want it to be discussed amongst the congregation – gossip won’t help me get better. Constructive criticism spoken in love will definately help! I would rather have the chance to improve, rather than be labelled as the “dodgy preacher.”

Great post BTW!
