Matt Chandler, pastor of The Village church in Dallas has become one of my favorite preachers of God’s Word. I’m not sure if it’s because he has wit, a pinch of sarcasm, or because He is ultra Biblical in His teaching (I really do know which of these reasons), but I enjoy listening to him teach the Scriptures.

Here is an excerpt from a sermon of his that has such validity and truth to it. Again, he uses sarcasm to bring home the point and I truly don’t believe he does it to ridicule or poke fun of people, programs, etc. Take 3 minutes to listen to it and evaluate yourself with this question: “is he talking about me?”

How can you as a follower of Christ and how can we as the Church be more intentional in making church about God and less about us?
