In 2003, I preached a message at the the church I was an assistant Pastor to. For 3 months the Lord dealt with me to bring this message. I knew that it would offend many there.
I searched my heart to see if I had any other motive other than love. And I could not find any.
About a week later, the Pastor, whom at the time was my CLOSEST FRIEND. Came to me and told me he was offended at this message and the congregation was offended and that it was not of God.
I lost a friend that day and lost many loved ones I looked upon as brethren. I moved on, never again preaching in that church. I have not preached in another church since then neither.
Six months after this sermin, the Worship Leader of the Church was caught having an affair with another , literally inside the church building (santuary).
Recently the assistant Pastor, whom took my place, divorced his wife because she wanted the things of the world, and he remarried.
Other things has happened. I am not judging, but what the world must think of us who is suppose to represent Jesus Christ.
I am no better, for since this time I feel as if I have strayed from the path that God has layed down for me. I am trying to get back into that path with much struggles.
Here is the message that was preached that one Sunday Morning 4 years ago.
The audio is horrible. I will try and clear it up and repost it.
The sermon actually lasted an hour, but I cut the first part off when I was reading Scriptures.
Here is PART ONE, I will post the second part quickly.
Please listen and judge for your selves if the WORD PREACHED was of God or of man. LET ME KNOW IF I WAS WRONG.
PART ONE: MY LAST SERMON
