So I was visiting a church in Mississippi not long ago. In the evening service the preacher related the story of Jesus casting the devils out of the man into the swine, which then ran into the sea and perished.

He then turned to the congregation:

"Y'all know that's where deviled ham came from, don't you?"

The church erupted in laughter!

:lol:
 
When I pastored in Mississippi (not too far from Oxford, home of the Ole Miss Rebels), I was teaching one Wednesday evening on Matthew 7:6 ("Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine..."). As a side comment, I told the congregation that this verse had nothing to do with not being an Arkansas fan or a Mississippi State fan. :D

:lol: 9/10!
 
A pastor of mine preached on John 6, referring to when Jesus spoke deep truth that troubled the masses. Then verse 66: "After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him." Pastor then said, "That Jesus sure isn't seeker friendly!" :)
 
how about the pentecostal revival that started when a guest italian preacher was walking up to the platform, hit his leg on the stairs and started jumping around shouting "ihittamyshin" over and over again
 
Here's one I like:

A pastor was preaching on temperance, and when he reached the end of his sermon, he concluded by saying, "If I had all the beer in the world, I'd dump it all into the river. And if I had all the wine in the world, I'd dump it into the river. And if I had all the liquor in the world, I'd pour it into the river too!" Then the pastor stepped down from the pulpit and the music minister went up and said, "Our hymn of commitment for today is 'Shall We Gather at the River.'"

We read that we are to so fear and love God that we cannot by our own effort or understanding comprehend the replacement of an electromagnetic photon source. It is, rather by faith, NOT by our efforts (effected toward the failed worldly incandescence), that we truly see, and that our own works cannot fully justify us in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Of course, it is still dark.

We choose not to make a statement either in favor of or against the need for a light bulb. However, if in your own journey, you have found that a light bulb works for you, that is fine. You are invited to write a poem or compose a modern dance about your personal relationship to your light bulb and present it next month at our annual light bulb Sunday service, in which we will explore a number of light bulb traditions, including incandescent, fluorescent, three-way, long-lived, and tinted; all of which are equally valid paths to luminescence through Jesus Christ.
-Or-
Undetermined. Whether your light is bright, dull, or completely out, you are loved --you can be a light bulb, turnip bulb, or tulip bulb. Church wide lighting service is planned for Sunday. Bring bulb of your choice and a covered dish.
