There was one Christmas message I preached when I first started as a full-time pastor to adults that ran about an hour. There was so much good material, I wanted to share it all! But as I spoke I could see people's eyes glazing over. A large family left partway through, late for the work shift that started early that afternoon. I could see the wish in the eyes of some others that they could do the same. I try to keep a better check on how long I speak now.
Paul, in Acts 20, began a little after sundown, preached so long that someone actually DIED from it, then kept going until after sunrise.
Is there a message in there we could benefit from hearing? I think so, and I promise it won't take very long for me to get to it...
