Preaching
I’m preaching tomorrow morning for the first time in ages. With all the swaps I’ve done with other preachers in the circuit I’ve not preached since the third Sunday in Advent. It’s a pain when this happens because it takes me longer to “warm up” to it, so it seems harder for me to put together a service. If I have a few services all on top of one another I get into a groove and everything clicks into place quite easily. I suppose it’s a sign that I’m really still quite green at it.
Anyway, it’s the first Sunday in Lent and the title of my sermon is “Jesus is Lord” based on what Paul teaches in Romans 10. Ironically, with the release of Mel Gibson’s film the Passion of Christ, I’ll be referring to that other controversial film, The Last Temptation of Christ.
