Sunday Preach

Jul 17, 2008 16:44

I am preaching at my church this Sunday. All, believers and non-believers, are welcome to attend. Since its my first full-length preach I am a little nervous and would welcome any support.

For the whole nerves thing, I wonder if its appropriate to picture my audience naked?

I will try my best.

Ahem, to be there, not to be naked.

You are welcome to come up the night before and sleep over if you like.

He's welcome to come over and spend the night before naked? :)

You'll be fine... think of it as a class. Just don't threaten to keep the whole church in over break if they misbehave :)

Is it amoral? Only if you're getting off on it :)

Good luck - I have to work the weekend, so chances are I won't be able to call in. You'll do brilliantly.

We're going to be in Scotland, so I can't turn up to your church, clothed or otherwise.

Look at it this way: if you can teach a lesson to an unruly year 9 class on a Friday afternoon, an audience of Christians, most of whom you know, can't really present much of a challenge.

You'll do great - you have natural flair, charm and a confidence in your subject matter, so just relax and enjoy it.

I honestly would be there, if I weren't so far away and cut-off by silly petrol prices. But I'll be sure to think on you at the right time and send you good luck vibes :-)

Thats very sweet of you to say so.

Now, if only I had some actual content...

When you asked about content, I opened up google and typed in "Current news"... it took me to the BBC website, amongst others, and I started clicking ( ... )

Wednesday, you should be a preacher or motivational speaker or something. That was very good.

Once again, I thank you.

I do have content now. I've been praying and researching and meditating all yesterday with little to show, but this morning its all paying off. You can put it down to sleep and the unconscious resolving things, maybe God has been putting a little pack together while I sleep.

Or maybe its you.

Part of what I'm preaching on is the nature of prayer and what difference that makes in the mind of God (or the cosmic order or whatever you want to call it). That you have done this and thought this through for me is a type of prayer. You have eased my way into my preach. Thank you!

I think you should still start your Preach like brother justin!

SINNERS! HEATHERNS!
Are not the target of my preach today and instead I shall be concentrating on...

No? ok.... i'll be quiet then...

Good luck all the same dude! I'd turn up... but I dislike religion really, nothing aganist people who find it enriching or whatever... just isn't my type of Tango.
