survey results

i promised some results from my most recent preaching series, which will grow into my final project for doctoral studies. the comments have not been edited.

I think that you were very brave in your "thinking out of the box" sermons. More ministers should be having sermons on these topics.
I feel these sermons had little of uplifting nature to them. Good subjects that we should hear, but needed some encouragement.
Very interesting series. I enjoyed the discussion, and would encourage more "risk taking" for future sermons.
I had no problem with any of the sermons; however, some in congregation may prefer a Bible study class to cover these issues.
Wish I had heard the others!
Innappropriate (sic) for Easter Sunday. You are completing a checklist for your degree without regard to what's appropriate for your people. Shameful.
It was enlightening to hear about these subjects from the pulpit. Sorry I did not hear all of them.
I enjoyed all of them
it was a good and well-planned series of sermons. For your typical sermons, I felt that these sermons lost focus. They tended to ramble on past effectiveness. My mind started to wonder. A high school senior we know didn't rate this one high according to his science background. It didn't have enough scientific research to back it. Overall, I enjoyed the series. I do feel that most of them were too long and involved too much of the Pastor's opinion. Lot's of opinion, but there are many scientific facts that were ommited. Too many facts and info missing from AIDS sermon...poorly done. I prefer that the pastor speak from facts not suposition, e.g. he has no idea what spiritual guidance the president had before going to war. My views on the death penalty differ from the sermon, but the message was thought provoking. Some were a little long. I think for most people 20 minutes is the maximum absorption time. creationism/intelligent design sermon, I wished you advocated creationism more strongly

I say neutral because of the lack of confidence in delivery. Don't go for the popular vote, say what you know needs to be said. Let God do the rest.
Did not hear these but in past, appeared prepared
Frank, you are always well prepared.
Smart guy, not enough information given. Very biased sermons and they seemed uneducated or ill prepared to me.
A political bias was evident.....left!
I'm always impressed with Frank's knowledge. It's obvious that he reseraches topics before he presents them.
Creationism/ Intelligent Design was a little rough on the research.
all sermons had relevant and timely examples from the headlines that supported each sermon. i thought that helped it to remain relevant.
