Reverend King Preaches Forgiveness

The reverend King’s sermon was based on forgiveness. He urged the congregation not to harbor grudges against those who have offended them.

Reverend King asked everyone to stand. He then said ‘Those of you who forgive and forget past grievances please be seated’. About half of those in the church sat. The preacher quoted Biblical verses and repeated his question to those still standing. At this point, most sat down.

He pleaded further for them to follow the Christian way and one by one they sat down. Just one old lady remained standing; ‘Madam’ reverend King asked ‘Why can’t you forgive your enemies?’

‘Because I have none’ she replied.

‘That is remarkable; at your age to have no enemies is wonderful. To what do you attribute this achievement?

She gave him her best smile and replied, ‘the bitches have all died!’

One beautiful Sunday morning, Reverend Barnard announces to his congregation, ‘My good people, I have here in my hands three sermons…… A $100 sermon that lasts five minutes, A $50 sermon that lasts fifteen minutes, And a $20 sermon that lasts a full hour.

Now, we’ll take the collection and see which one I’ll deliver.’

Today’s Hymn

Reverend Clive Morgan was completing his homily in St John’s Church about the dangers of alcohol and the need for moderation and temperance.

He announced at the end of the sermon in a loud, clear voice, ‘If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river.’ With even greater emphasis he added, ‘And if I had all the wine in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river.’ Finally, he intoned in an extremely serious manner, ‘And if I had all the whiskey in the world, I’d take it and throw it
into the river.’

The Reverend Morgan then sat down. Jerry, St John’s leading chorister stood up and announced with a smile, ‘For our closing hymn this Sunday, let us sing together hymn number 109: ‘Shall We Gather at the River.’

Palm Sunday

It was Palm Sunday but because of a sore throat, 5-year-old Craig stayed home from church with a babysitter. When the family returned home, they were carrying several palm fronds.

Craig inquired as to what they were for.

‘Wouldn’t you just know it?’ Craig complained, ‘The one Sunday I don’t go and he shows up.’

Unusual Burial

A recently ordained priest, Father Henry, was to hold his first-ever graveside burial service at a pauper’s cemetery for a destitute man with no family or friends.

Father Henry, not knowing where the cemetery was, made several wrong turns and got lost.

He eventually arrived an hour late, the hearse was nowhere in sight, the spade was next to the open hole, and the workmen were sitting under a tree eating lunch.

Father Henry, being a reliable young priest went to the open grave and found the vault lid already in place. Feeling guilty because of his lateness, he preached an impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased to the great beyond in considerable style.

As the good Father returned to his car, he overheard one of the workmen say to the other, ‘ Do you know, fancy that, I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty-five years and I ain’t never seen anything like that.’

Ring a Bell?

Father John is walking down the street one day when he notices Nathan, a very small boy, trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. However, Nathan is very small and the doorbell is too high for him to reach. After watching the boy’s efforts for some time, Father John moves closer to Nathan’s position. He steps smartly across the street, walks up behind the little fellow, and placing his hand kindly on the child’s shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring.

Crouching down to Nathan’s level, Father John smiles benevolently and asks, ‘And now what, my little man?’

To which Nathan replies with a beaming grin, ‘Now we run!’

‘Mummy,’ he inquired, ‘can we leave now?’

‘No,’ his mother replied, ‘the service isn’t over yet.’

‘Well, I think I’m about to throw up.’ Marty announced. ‘Then go out of the front door and around to the back of the church and throw up behind a bush.’ said Doris.

After about sixty seconds, Marty returned to his pew, alongside his mother.

‘Did you throw up?’ Marty’s Mum asked quietly. ‘Yes,’ Marty answered, embarrassed.

‘How could you have gone all the way to the back of the church and returned so quickly?’ Doris demanded.

‘I didn’t have to go out of the church, Mummy. They have a box next to the front door that says, “For the Sick” ‘.

‘My friend,’ asked Reverend Morris, ‘did you understand that this is a meeting of the Board?’

‘Oh, yes,’ came the rejoinder from the visitor, ‘and after that sermon, I’m about as bored as you can get.’

Good Clean Adam jokes

Adam Jokes

Here are Adam’s 10 Alternative Commandments

God knew that Adam would one day need someone to hand him the TV remote. (Men don’t want to see what’s ON television, they want to see WHAT ELSE is on!)
God knew that Adam would never buy a new fig leaf when his seat wore out and would therefore need Eve to get one for him.
God knew that Adam would never make a doctor’s appointment for himself.
God knew that Adam would never remember which night was garbage night.
God knew that if the world was to be populated, men would never be able to handle childbearing.
As ‘Keeper of the Garden’, Adam would never remember where he put his tools.
The scripture account of creation indicates Adam needed someone to blame his troubles on when God caught him hiding in the garden.
As the Bible says, ‘It is not good for man to be alone!’
When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back, scratched His head, and said, ‘I can do better than that.’

Lotto night comes and Edna still has no luck.

Once again, she prays, ‘My God, why have you forsaken me?? I’ve lost my business, my house, and my car. My children are starving. I don’t often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. PLEASE, just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order.

God and Satan

In the beginning, God covered the earth with broccoli, cauliflower, and spinach, with green yellow, and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.

Then using God’s bountiful gifts, Satan created Haagen Das Ice Cream and Magnums. And Satan said: ‘You want hot fudge with that?’ And Man said: ‘Yes!’ And Woman said: ‘I’ll have one too …with sprinkles.’ And lo they gained 10 pounds.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane, and combined them. And Woman went from size 2 to size 14.

So God said: ‘Try my fresh green garden salad.’ And Satan presented crumbled Blue Cheese dressing and garlic
croutons on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said: ‘I have sent you heart-healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them.’ And Satan brought forth deep-fried coconut king prawns, butter-dipped lobster chunks, and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own platter. And Man’s cholesterol went through the roof.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with potassium and good nutrition. Then Satan peeled off the healthful skin sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them in animal fats adding copious quantities of salt. And Man put on more pounds.

God then brought forth running shoes so that his Children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan came forth with
a cable TV with a remote control so Man would not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering light and started wearing stretch jogging suits.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald’s and the .99 pence double cheeseburger. Then Satan said, ‘You want fries with that?’ And Man replied: ‘Yes! And super size ‘ em!’ And Satan said: ‘It is good.’ The man and Woman went into cardiac arrest.

God sighed…and created quadruple bypass surgery.

And then…Satan chuckled and created the National Health Service……………

Not an Adam joke – Prawn, Cod and Shark Saga

Far away in the tropical waters of the Caribbean, two prawns were swimming around in the sea – one called Justin and the other called Christian. The prawns were constantly being harassed and threatened by sharks that inhabited the area. Finally one day Justin said to Christian, ‘I’m fed up with being a prawn; I wish I was a shark, and then I wouldn’t
have any worries about being eaten.’

A large mysterious cod appeared and said, ‘Your wish is granted’, and lo and behold, Justin, turned into a shark. Horrified, Christian immediately swam away, afraid of being eaten by his old mate. Time passed and Justin found life as a shark boring and lonely. All his old mates simply swam away whenever he came close to them. Justin didn’t
realize that his new menacing appearance was the cause of his sad plight. While swimming alone one day he saw the cod again and he thought that perhaps the fish could change him back into a prawn. He approached the cod and begged to be changed back, and, lo and behold, he found himself turned back into a prawn.

With tears of joy in his tiny little eyes Justin swam back to his friends and bought them all a cocktail. Looking around the gathering at the reef he realized he couldn’t see his old pal.’ Where’s Christian?’ he asked.’ He’s at home, still distraught that his best friend changed sides to the enemy and became a shark’, came the reply.

Eager to put things right again and end the mutual pain and torture, he set off to Christian’s abode. As he opened the coral gate memories came flooding back. He banged on the door and shouted, ‘It’s me, Justin, your old friend, come out and see me again.’ Christian replied, ‘No way man, you’ll eat me. You’re now a shark, the enemy and I’ll not be tricked into being your dinner.’

Justin cried back ‘ No, I’m not. That was the old me. I’ve changed.’

Wait for it
