I have a couple weddings coming up this summer and have been working on the message for one of them. Wedding messages are fun to give- you get to share with the couple, reflect on the time spent together in premarital counseling, and talk about the importance of Jesus in their marriage.
So while I want to make the wedding message meaningful and fun and important, the message will be 10 minutes- if that.
As fun as they are, no one comes to a wedding for the sermon.
There are times when life is about you. Your wedding. The birth of your child. A new job. A death in the family. I am sure there are countless other moments.
But there are also times- probably more times- when life is not about you.
Don't be the preacher who gives a 45 minute wedding message because he thinks people come for the sermon.
