if you really want us to believe what this video is saying, you have to put the jokes in context. You can link individual words together all days long to make someone says they're a gay terrorist, but the words carry no meaning out of context..

thumbs down..

@hubbs86 The tones these jokes convey do not fit the context of the message of Scripture. If that was the case we would hear Jesus cracking similar ones in the NT.

Are you from the Gardendale, Al area?

[hubbs86]

@Member35071 no, i'm not. it's another mistake for you to think that anything that Jesus DIDNT do is wrong. There, i'm sure, are many thing that Jesus didn't do because of the short time he was here and the mission he was on. I believe Jesus was funny! the sinners and 'low down homeless' types were always hanging out with him an intiving him to eat with them.. and becides, he's God.. and God created jokes and being funny.. therefore, Jesus, i'm sure, had jokes.

[Member35071]

@hubbs86 Jesus was definitely funny and God is the author of humor and all other good things. But Jesus did not have to do little tricks to keep people's attention. The sermon on the mount was no place for cheap laughs because of the context of his mission to save lost souls.

If you are not from the area of this minister you will not understand the context of these videos. You need to listen to a series or two before the thumb down this video so quickly.

[hubbs86]

@Member35071 As you might remember, my very FIRST comment was that these jokes were out of context and that you need to hear the rest of the sermon to gauge if they're good/bad... if the guys a poser then by all means, kick him all the stage! but this video isn't conclusive enough for that.. it needs to be in context.. thats all.

[Member35071]

@hubbs86 Friend, you are not even from this state, of course this will not be conclusive for you. There is enough here to see the unbiblical pattern. If you ok with a pastor to detour from God's word and crack a few jokes to kill time we might as well end the conversion here. But i don't think you will find Biblical ground that that methodology. Let's save the jokes for after church.

[JFreak1193]

First: You have taken these jokes completely out of context. They are a very small portion of much longer sermons that were full of God's word and biblical truths- I would know, I was there when they were preached. Second: Jesus Christ used humor and satire to get his point across repeatedly- what do you think those parables were? So what is wrong with Pastor Kevin imitating Christ? Look up Proverbs 16:28 (this is what you are doing). Regardless of what YOU think of Kevin, God is using him.

@Member35071 On April 27th a tornado hit places in Alabama including Tuscaloosa and parts of Gardendale if God didn't like the way this church was preaching then He would've destroyed them but He didn't so in other words apparently in God's eyes this church is doing what he wants i know that there were some churches destroyed because i have friends who found parts of Bibles in their yard that was just Jude and Revelation, they talk about how God will destroy churches that aren't in God's will

I am a memeber of Gardendale First Baptist Church Pastor Kevin is a kind and wonderful leader as well as a blessing to our community and our church. Everyone has the right to disagree with any person or pastor, but this is not the way it should be handled.

[4honeychild]

PSALMS 126:2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing: they said there among the heathen, The Lord hath done great things for them -Its obvious that the producer of this nonsense does not read or know scripture. Maybe if you listen to the entire sermon you'll learn something

[phurstdr]

HEY I GO TO THAT CHURCH HE IS NOT REPLACING JESUS WITH JOKES HE IS MAKING WORSHIP FUN

[gasolinejelly]

I'm sure I speak for a lot of atheists when I say THANK GOD YOUR RAPTURE IS COMING THIS SATURDAY! Ironic huh? Now the rest of us can try to coexist with an elevated level of civility. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

[mma442]

I have attended Gardendale several times and every time I have always left feeling blessed. God has opened my eyes many times through this pastor and you can tell that God's hands are on his sermons. Very disappointed that someone would take bits of sermons and put this together and try to say this is this pastor. Not possibly biased, very biased. Whatever personal you may have against him, be professional and keep it off of the internet. All that's doing is showing how much class you have.

[Jason424777]

Unfair video. Possibly biased.

[kats9008]

1~all this is a a conglomeration of snippets...not a sermon. 2~if telling jokes during a sermon makes a man against God, then just about every Baptist preacher I've heard is against God, too. Sounds like you've got something against this guy...

@Deputyez Whoops I meant man of God
