When I said Peter did what he did in ten minutes, I meant from when he started speaking until the crowd spoke up to ask what they needed to do. My understanding is after he told them waht to do,  he spoke many other words. I was just referring to the first part. Thanks for stopping by.</p> Bradley,

Also, in Acts 2, the things Peter said took up more than ten minutes.  That can bee seen in the words "with many other word did Peter speak unto them, saying save yourselves..."  If a preacher speaks "many words," you know it was longer than 10 minutes.

If they want to do it every week, we will add two services to get a total of 20 minutes. Ha! I will post an update to see how it goes.</p> I want to give it a shot.

Now, if they want to do that every week in order to get a 10 minute sermon, that could be a problem. :-) That’s a great idea.
