I wonder if this could be a successful new approach to seeker-sensitive meetings! Probably not - though to be honest I bet he had a bad night with his kids refusing to sleep. Argument with the wife on the way in. Pressure from the board to grow the church. In my short time in the US I noticed a real “hire & fire asap” attitude in churches that seems more at home in a premier league football club than a church. So much as this is pretty horrid, I can actually understand why someone might lose it completely if heckled at the wrong time - poor preacher, but poor congregation too!
