How long should church service be ?

[Margies3]

There is no pat answer for this question. It really all depends on the situation and the circumstances. Each service is different. Each type of service is different. I would not expect the sermon for Wednesday night Bible Study to be the same length or type as the sermon for Sunday evening Evangelistic Service. Sunday mornings are probably the one service where I would feel most comfortable saying that across the board - any denomination, any church - the sermon should never run more than about 20 minutes. If you can't say what you need to say in 20 minutes, you should spend more time figuring out what exactly it is that you are trying to get across.
