Praying, thinking, writing

I’m praying a lot at the moment about what I’m going to be teaching at the two services on my ‘preach with a view’ Sunday at Tonbridge Baptist Church. Having never ‘preached with a view’ before it’s a little unusual to climb into teaching preparation for two messages where an unusual amount of attention will be on me as an individual. I am confident that all of us going through this process – TBC and I – are listening to what God is saying to us and my hope is that whatever I teach, the one who will be seen most of all will be the Jesus that I serve and seek to glorify.
I’m thinking over some ideas and studying some scripture as a result of some promptings I believe God has given these last few days. The first idea for a message is what and how the church as Christ’s body can display the kind of things that Jesus displayed in his ministry on earth. The second idea is a simple message called ‘fearless?’, unpacking the idea of what it means to have courage and to face our fears, secure in the grip of Jesus the brave, the one who faced the nightmare of all possible nightmares and triumphed.
I’d better get on and write these messages.
Looking forward to it, and praying for you.
Thank you for your honest and open exchange tonight. I really appreciated both yours and Jemma’s relational style sharing things close to your heart and significant to your story, which was a pleasure to hear. I look forward to meeting you both next time you are at TBC x
Well written and well delivered. Praying now for Wednesday and hope you are not too exhausted after such a full on day.
Thanks Amanda!
Thanks Linda! Sunday was a long but very special day.
