True story. I'm only two degrees away from witnessing this.
A young Methodist pastor, preaching one of his first sermons, took on the topic of the Apostle Peter and crafted a message intended to calm the fears of a congregation facing some significant changes ahead. He sset out to encourage them to be steadfast in their faith.
He did very well, at first, speaking about Peter's faithfulness in Proclaiming the messiahship of Jesus, quoting Jesus, "Upon this rock, I will build my church." In his enthusiasm and youthful naiveté, he didn't fully understand the meaning of his words as his message reached it's central point and he proclaimed, "What this church needs is more firm Peters."
You can't make this stuff up folks.
Now that's funny!
ReplyDeleteDid I ever meet this fellow? He certainly had a way with words.
ReplyDeleteKim, that's outrageously funny! And no, you can't make this up. Don't they always say reality is stranger than fiction? Got that right!
