Preaching

I am getting a little burned out this week. Tomorrow will be my twin’s, Isaac and Kelsey, 6 birthday. I will be taking the rest of the week off and be getting ready for their party this weekend. So with this shortened week also comes the realization that I have three sermons to prepare for. With our pastor out of town this weekend I have in addition to my normal Wednesday night,I also have Sunday morning and night. It is quite stressful. But here is what I have so far.

Wednesday Night: I am talking on faith. We are doing a series called “What to Wear” a series covering each aspect of the full armor of God and tonight is the shield of faith.

Sunday Morning: I am taking a look at the story of Healing the Blind Man in John 9:1-7 we will look at
The Misunderstood Motivation of the Question that the Disciples Posed
The Situation of the Blind Man
The Sovereignty of God in the Life and Work of Christ
The Desperation of the Blind Man

Sunday Night: I will be looking at the call on the Church related to 1 Peter 2:5,9. I am using Revolution in Leadership by Reggie McNeal as a source. We will look at how we are called to be the priesthood to the world spreading the ministry of Christ. We will compare

Being a Refuge Church vs Mission Church
Being a “Come and Get It” Church vs a “Go Get Them” Church
Being a Church of Avoidance vs a Church of Loving Relationship
and
Shifting from
A Top Down Church to a Flat-line Church
An Inside Church to Inside Out Church
An Outside Church to Outside in Church

I am excited about it but expect to be well worn out when Sunday ends.
