The Preacher Changed His Sermon at the Last Minute… and His Wife’s Comment Was Unforgettable
A small-town preacher was proud of his ability to improvise a sermon on any topic, even if he knew nothing about it. He never prepared, just improvised on whatever came to his mind Sunday morning.r>
So one Sunday morning he woke up and told his wife, “I’m going to base my sermon today on horseback riding.”
“But you don’t know anything about horseback riding!” she said. “I don’t want to watch you embarrass yourself, I’m staying home.”
“All right,” he said, and drove to church. On the way there, he began to have second thoughts. He really didn’t know anything about horseback riding … finally he decided to preach a sermon on love and intim@cy in marriage.
It went very well — so well that when one of his congregants saw his wife at the grocery store the next day, she said, “You missed a great sermon yesterday — your husband was on fire! That was the best sermon I’ve ever heard!”
His wife said, “Really? He literally knows nothing about it. In all his life he’s done it just twice — once before we were married, once after — and both times, he fell right off.”
