I have to come up with this write up because I am a youth and I know what it feels like to be a youth. This write up is based on my observations and encounter with other youths

Note - I'm not trying to say it applies to all youths so pls don't get it twisted


10 Sermon Youths Will Most Likely Find Uninteresting

1. Never Approach a Lady, Inform Your Pastor
Hmmmmmmm !! I can bet a million dollars that most youths will never find this kind of sermon interesting especially when a pastor condemn the idea of making your intentions know to a lady. They expect you to inform them about it and they would do that on your behalf

2. Never Allow A Male/Female Visitor Into Your Room
This one is a serious case. As a youth, I think the possibility of not allowing female visitors into your room or hostel at the expense of your salvation is next to nill.. I think most youths (students) will most likely turn deft ears to this kind of sermon

3. Never Ask Questions Inside The Hall
We don't need a philosopher to tell us that an average student would like to communicate with friends during an exam. Hence, when a preacher preaches against communicating with other students even when their booklets are blank is like you really want them to fall .. I guess an average student will most likely find this kind of sermon uninteresting

4. Pay Your Tithe Even When You Are In School
I must confess, this is a serious case. We once had this kind of sermon in my fellowship and you need to see the way discomfort and sadness was registered on the faces of virtually all the students ( you see them asking questions here and there)


5. Never Visit Your Fiance When He's Alone
I have listened to a sermon when the preacher condemns going to visit your future partner when he's alone in the house.. The ladies were advised to take their female friends along with them or not go at all. ( Discomfort was registered on the face of ladies during the sermon )

6. Application Of Attachments & Make-Up Is A Sin
It takes the grace of God for a young lady to do without apply make-up (even the born again ones ). Ladies apply make-up by one way or the other,either consciously or unconsciously. They tend to start feeling uncomfortable when a preacher condemns the act


7. Fornication
We all know we are now in an era where sex seems to be the talk of the day.. An average youth is most likely to fornicate (does that sound stranger to you ? It shouldn't be 'cos it takes the grace of God to overcome fornication as a youth) Therefore, the probability that they would find this kind of sermon uninteresting is on d high side


8. Don't Ever Date Until You Are Ready For Marriage
Most preachers preach against having a girlfriend or boyfriend not until you are ready for marriage. Youths of 21st century will never want to hear this. I guess it takes 5 out of 100 youths to do that

9. Stop Chatting On Social Networks
Social media has changed
everything and every youth is
under scrutiny. Youths will likely turn deft ears to a sermon that has to do with condemnation of facebooking, 2go-ing and whatsapp-ing at the expense of salvation.


10. Don't Redice Your Age Because Of Employment
Most youths reduce their age for employment purpose so they tend to start finding the sermon uninteresting when they know that using their real age might lower their chances of being employed
