Sermon Illustrations

Conflicts are not uncommon, but when the Vicar and Organist get into it, stand aside.

One week, the Vicar preached on commitment, and how we should move forward into doing service for others. After this sermon, the Organist led the congregation in singing, "I Shall Not Be Moved."

The next Sunday, the Vicar preached on giving and how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The Organist then led the song, "Jesus Paid It All."

The next Sunday, the Vicar preached on gossiping and how we should watch our tongues.

The hymn was "I Love To Tell The Wondrous Story."

The Vicar became disgusted over the situation and, the next Sunday, he told the congregation he was considering resigning.

The congregation then sang "Oh, Why Not Tonight."

When the Vicar resigned the next week, he told the church that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was taking him away.

The Organist then sang "a Friend We Have in Jesus."

What is the difference between an Organist and a Terrorist. You can negotiate with a terrorist!!!
