Help, My Pastor Preaches too Long #OurCOG

Have you ever sat through a movie that seemed like it wouldn’t end. Maybe it was a class where after a certain period of time it seemed like you checked out. I am sure that if your a Pastor you imagine each person sitting through your sermon never wanting it to end because it is so engaging and life changing. If I can be so blunt, as a Pastor I feel like I spend too much time on each message. I am sure that many of those who are listening to us feel the same way.

I am looking for some feedback…

As a Pastor when your in the congregation listening to another speaker, how long do you want them to speak?

As a Pastor how long do you normally spend delivering your message, do you think those your preaching to wishes you would shorten it up a bit?

As a church attendee if you could be open an honest with your Pastor, what would be the ideal time for this Sunday’s sermon?

As an attendee, how long does your Pastor normally spend on his message, is it too long?

Please take a moment to leave your thoughts in the comments. I look forward to reading your responses.
