Last Sunday:
- Family bereavement
- Plenty of study, not enough time for prep on the presentation
- One of my better lessons – at least in the way it was received.
- Trust the text: Know it thoroughly. Study well in advance. It has power in itself.
- Trust God: How much do I trust God? Prayer was more important on Sunday morning than technical preparation.
- Trust congregation: How much do I trust the congregation in their motivation to learn and ability to do so?
Conclusion
- We are creatives – no creation is ever finished
- Send it out before ‘ready’ – who gets to decide what that means anyway?
- If a sermon is fully ‘finished’ it will likely be dead
