I’m so blessed to feel like I can be myself with this congregation. I didn’t feel even close to prepared for this message, but I felt calm and ready when I walked through the doors of First Presbyterian.
Sometimes I feel like I’ve squandered my responsibilities as a preacher. Sometimes it feels like a grind to get out the words. This message, I hoped to go off of an outline and memory instead of a manuscript, but it was tough to put together, so I stayed tied to the page. But as the Lord would have it, it went well, and yielded a good response from the congregation. Below is the result.
