Have you ever truly thought about the phrase, “well…I’m just preaching to the choir?”  I’ve probably heard it said hundreds of times, and I’m sure I’ve even used it myself.  But I thought about something lately that really bothers me about that phrase.

From my experience in churches that had choirs, half the choir was either zoned out or falling asleep when the pastor was preaching.  It really was quite comical actually.  It never failed that someone (typically multiple older men) would be nodding off during the sermon.  We used to get a kick out of it growing up, especially when they would snore and wake themselves up.  Did that happen at your church?

Why do I bring it up?  Because the message you have to say probably needs to be repeated.  Don’t assume that you have said what you needed to say enough and that people have bought in to what you are saying.  Keep casting your vision and dreams.  Keep it fresh in their minds.  Keep preaching to the choir…they may have been asleep anyways.
