Moving Forward
In case you’re wondering, I AM aware that I haven’t put a new sermon up here in a while. That’s due to several reasons. But the main one is a shift in my style of preaching. For a long time (almost the whole first year of preaching for me) I would type out my whole sermon, then read it (or at least reference it). While I may still do this from time to time, it will not be my preferred method.
My preaching professor, Dr. Robert Smith, told me once that getting out of my notes to preach would be a bog challenge for me. He was right. Someone else told me it would be my greatest joy in preaching. That person was right too.
It’s not that I’m preparing any less. It’s just that I’m allowing a little more freedom in my preaching. Call it movement of the Spirit or whatever you will. I’m just aware that a sermon is never what I intended it to be when I wrote it down.
So, until we find a way to put audio copies of my sermons online (or find someone crazy enough to type them all down after I speak them), you’ll have to settle for the occasional sermon I get typed up.
Currently, we’re on a sermon series on Women of Faith in the Old Testament. Come join us on Sundays in October and November to hear some really cool (and funny) stories of Old Testament women that God used.
Blessings to you!
