Preaching

I have been preaching now for about three weeks. Not three weeks straight, but three weeks in a row. I have found it rather amazing how God continues to give me what I need in order speak on a Sunday morning. I was originally very worried about content and the amount of content. My biggest fear was irrelevancy. However, up to this point, God has provided me with so much content. Today I actually had to cut out about have of my message because it was too long.

After the service, several people have spoken to me about how God was using what I said to speak into their lives. This is incredible. I really appreciate that they do not simply say, "hey that was a good job." They tell me what I said and how it is applicable to their lives. This is God at work. I cannot do this apart from Him (Jn 15).

I am sure as time goes on I will have seasons both good and bad when it comes to messages. Thankfully it is the Holy Spirit at work in the lives of people, and not dependent on just me. I trust He will continue to guide and direct me as I seek direction on what to speak on. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness!
