Thinking out loud: you wonder why believers have difficulty in understanding the bible, and are easily tossed too and fro with doctrines , when a typical church service OF 3 hours only has 45 mins separated for sermon and teaching. It's quite ridiculous. Maybe I should ask, what is been done with the remaining 2hours 15 minutes. #jamboree
We leave the main essence of church and Chase after shadow. A typical worship service programme goes thus :
Opening prayer _ 5 minutes
Call to worship _ 5 minutes
Praise and worship _ 35minutes
Testimony _ 30 minutes
Child dedication _ 15 minutes
Fund raising for church project _ 15 minutes
Family anniversary/ thanksgiving _ 10 minutes
Choir rendition _ 15 minutes
Pastors sermon _ ( this one varies based on the remaining time and in most cases church members are tired and sleepy , (lol) 45 mins in most cases)
Announcements _ 15 minutes
Closing benediction _ 5 minutes
Hymn OF praise _ 5 MINUTES
Closing prayer _ 5 minutes
And you wonder if it's a service or something else. #the church has a lot OF changes to make. If we would really help believers to grow.
I'm just thinking out loud .
