I preached our evening service this past weekend. For me it was sub par. I was exhausted and when i get tired my ADD acts up. I feel like I am going in so many different directins and I can’t pull my speaking into a clean clear focus.
Anyway
I spoke on how Jesus treated the religious leaders of his time
The first thing I focused on was how we today villianize the Pharisees as some evil cult like force but in actuality they were the called people of God serving Him the way they knew how. Then I pointed out some pratices of the Pharisees that Jesus took exception with and how we had many of those same problems in the church today.
I ruffled some feathers but what was awesome was that I actually got a call the next morning from someone I knew I had upset and they thanked me and told me how right I was…..It was awesome
