funny sermon stories

One of the best funny sermon illustrations is about a shepherd who lost one of his sheep. He searched everywhere for it. When he finally found it, he was so overjoyed that he carried it all the way back home on his shoulders. This can be used to illustrate how God rejoices when one of His lost 'sheep' (people) are found. It's a story that can tug at the heartstrings while also being a bit funny in the image of the shepherd with the sheep on his shoulders.

In a small - town wedding, the pastor told a story during the sermon about how the groom used to be terrified of commitment. He described how the groom would run away at the mention of a long - term relationship. But then he met the bride and everything changed. The pastor told it in such a humorous way that had everyone in stitches, especially when he imitated the groom's panicked look from the past.

The humor in them makes them appealing. It's easier to remember a religious or moral lesson when it's wrapped in a funny story. For example, if a story about sharing is told in a humorous way, people are more likely to recall it.

Sure. One funny sermon story is about a pastor who was trying to illustrate the concept of forgiveness. He used the example of a dog that had chewed up his favorite shoes. Instead of getting angry, he forgave the dog. And the dog then brought him a bone as if it knew it was forgiven.

Sure. One funny sermon story is about a pastor who was preaching about kindness. Mid - sermon, a dog wandered into the church and started chasing its tail right in front of the altar. The pastor just laughed and said, 'Well, there's an example of pure, unadulterated joy right there, which is a form of kindness to oneself.'

One funny Easter sermon story is about a pastor who was trying to explain the concept of resurrection. He brought a little chick into the church. The chick was supposed to represent new life. But during the sermon, the chick got loose and started running all over the pews. Everyone was laughing as the pastor chased it around, but it also made the point in a very memorable way about how new life can be unexpected and full of energy.

One funny Christmas sermon story is about a pastor who was trying to explain the concept of the star that led the wise men. He accidentally said 'the star that led the wise guys' instead. The whole congregation burst into laughter and it lightened the mood of the sermon.

Another funny story for a sermon illustration might be about a church mouse. The pastor was talking about how everyone has a role in the church community. He told of this little mouse that lived in the church. The mouse thought it was too small to be of any use. But one day, it noticed a piece of bread that had fallen near the altar. The mouse dragged it away, keeping the church clean. This shows that even the smallest among us can contribute.

One funny story is about a pastor who got the groom's name wrong during the sermon. He called him by the name of the groom's old high school rival. Everyone had a good laugh when the groom corrected him, and the pastor joked that he was just testing if the groom was paying attention.

Sure. One story is about a pastor who was preaching about Noah's Ark. He said, 'Now, Noah had to gather two of every kind of animal. Just think of how hard it was to round up two skunks!' The congregation burst into laughter.
