There is a great danger in putting our trust in the preacher. No man can help us. Our confidence must be in Jesus alone. We are told we will receive persecution in this life but we expect it to come from those who hate Jesus and all He stands for. It is a shock when it comes from a fellow christian, one who is supposed to be tending the flock and not mistreating them. Always Christians tend to idolize those who teach them but we are not meat to do this, only Jesus is the one we should worship. You may say you respect your minister, but be careful that this is not really worship.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
