I have listen to a lot of sermons and started wondering about the following:
1. Is there anywhere in scripture where the preacher/teacher/prophet was trying to get his audience to laugh?
2. Did Jesus ever try to get His audience to laugh?
3. Jesus did tell some “almost” humorous stories, like the log in your own eye, with some very deep spiritual meanings, but would it make people laugh?
4. Is trying to make your audience laugh, also making lite of the subject?
5. Should the teacher/preacher emphasize the seriousness of the subject, by not showing any humor?
6. Would humor hurt someone in the audience caught up in the seriousness of the subject?
7. Why do preachers today use humor?
