True! I hear that a lot of preachers recycle messages when traveling. I don't mind it as long as they put something a little different in it...juuuuuuuust a little bit.
I know what you mean! A church that I went to years ago used to have this evangelist pretty regular. The last time I heard him preach, I thought the message was familiar. One of the youth said they made notes in their Bible on scriptures that a message was based on and who preached it. That was the THIRD time the man had preached that same message at that church.
Another time, I used to listen to preaching from the internet when I slept. One morning, about 3am, my dream started to become part of the sermon and it woke me up because it was familiar. It was a man who had been to our church and preaching the same message, word for word.
My husband doesn't even use notes. He prays and preaches what God gives him.
