Can you share some funny ministering stories?
There was this minister who was very enthusiastic about getting the congregation involved in community service. He decided to organize a big event. He announced it during the service with so much excitement that he tripped over a cord on the stage and fell flat on his face. But he quickly got up, dusted himself off and said, 'Well, that's how it feels when you take a tumble in life, but you just have to get up and keep going, just like we will with our community service project.' Everyone in the church burst into laughter and then got really motivated for the project.
Well, I heard of a minister in a small town. He was known for his forgetfulness. One Sunday, he was supposed to give a sermon on forgiveness. He walked up to the pulpit, opened his Bible, and then realized he had left his notes at home. So, he just started telling stories from his own life about times when he had to forgive others. He told a story about how his neighbor accidentally cut down his favorite tree, and how he learned to forgive. His humorous way of storytelling made the whole congregation enjoy the sermon very much.
Sure. There was a minister who once tried to do a sermon about kindness. But during the sermon, a little puppy wandered into the church. Instead of getting flustered, the minister started using the puppy as an example of unconditional love.
