I'm preaching on Sunday, with the bible passages from Matthew 6:1-4 and Matthew 25:31-46. The theme is "Looking after the poor."
So far, I've written 2 sermons and neither seem quite right. Normally, I'd be thinking of printing tonight, as Saturday's are my day off and I don't like waiting to Sunday morning to do my printing (paranoia that we'll be out of ink or the printer won't work or something else. But this time I am going to wait till Sunday morning. Hopefully by then I will be happy with what I am going to say - after all it has to be God#s message and not mine. At the moment, I'm not sure if it is.
ah, I did that [sort of] last week. Had written something, but had that niggling feeling of not quite rightness... ripped it up and left it for a couple of days and another emerged on Friday that I was happier with. Lesson I took away: I need the week to 'compost' the readings... The current way my weekly timing is working out makes it an interesting one tho. Hope your last day is a good 'un mate [oh, and that there's heaps of ink in the printer, lol!!]
ReplyDeleteI re-read them both and have went for version 1, with a bit of editing (but that would have happened anyway).
DeleteCompost the readings! A CFA supervisor of mine called it stewing down, so it becomes easier to digest and more paliable!
And there was no problems printing...thankfully.
