Somebody told me a while back that one should choose a church for its teaching and fellowship. In the past I chose the church I worshiped in based on the quality of its music and sermon. Is it wrong? Good music and good preaching make worship enjoyable. You hardly had a need to check your watch and the service usually ends before you feel bored. I left the first church we worshiped in during our first year in Singapore because the music and the preaching were simply awful and the fellowship was not happening. I truly felt that the hour and a half I spent in the church was not time well spent.
Many say that the church is not in the business of entertainment so one should not expect to be entertained. Is it my attitude that I expect to be entertained during a worship service? Is it too much to expect a modicum well thought out sermon and well chosen songs? I guess I should make it my priority every week to pray for the people who are going to preach and to lead worship service that God will bless and make perfect the preparation they do.
