One of "those" Sundays...but prepared with a back up plan


So the New England wet winter got us this Sunday.  Hovering right at the freezing mark put the potential for hazardous driving.  I am not usually this far ahead to do this kind of thing but I was able to record the Sunday night study of Ezra chapter 7 at my desk on Saturday morning just in case.  I am so thankful for all the preachers and teachers who have come before to help us to understand this Old Testament time.

 We are back from our vacation trip to see family in Illinois but also back to my masters class starting tomorrow.  It is focused on the Gospels and Acts so this should be very familiar territory to me.  I have preached through Matthew, Mark and Acts, I am doing the Wednesday in the Word through John and I have preached through 18 chapters of Luke.  I am looking forward to deeper insights given by our professor.

 I also have the opportunity to do a "double" next Sunday.  I will be preaching the same sermon in two different places at two different times and probably about a 30 minute drive apart.  I have never done this back to back so I am curious on how it will go.  Will there be adjustments from one run through of the material to the next?  I am thankful for this opportunity because in the future I might be called on to do this on a regular basis in a single church setting.  

 So back home for a Sunday of rest for me, truly, which usually comes on another day of the week for the preacher.

Connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life - Spurgeon

     I heard this phrase today along with another that if you connect a bit of Scripture with a bit of life, it will end up effecting all of your life.  This came up in my study of the book of James and specifically the verses dealing with not just being a hearer of the Word but also be a doer of the Word.  It is all about application.  I can't look at preaching the Word without giving steps of applying the Word.  It really is an incomplete sermon if I don't.      Many times I think it has to be big and many points and given cute aliteration that makes it snappy and I think easy to remember and fun to write down.  Reality is, if I would make it a bit of Scripture connected to a bit of life and just that it would probably accomplish much more.  How much time I spend on the opening statement and lame joke and research and introductions and how many points and the closing statement and so little time on connecting the bit of Scripture to the bit of life.      So I guess I ha

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlier in  Ga

Sermon prep and maybe a video...

     James 4 has brought up some interesting study.  First, "the quarrels and fights among you."  Those are usually worse than you think even though we try to minimize them.  The source is simpler than you think because it is coming from within you.  The solution is easier than you think because the solution that James gives is that we need to humble ourselves before the Lord.  Any sincere resolution is specific and brief.  Beware of lengthy resolutions that usually include explaining it away or excusing some of the behavior.      As I have seen before, the words are a sign of the heart.  I read this week that if we have a critical heart we usually start by speaking evil of another to ourselves.  Then we progress to speaking evil of another to that person with a running tally in our heads of all their wrongs.  Finally, we speak evil of another to others and broadcast in a way that we are thinking that we are helping.  Giving judgment is always easier than giving mercy.  I
