Well, I just finished paper number one this semester, and I'm off to my next project(s). Next Sunday I am preaching at North Point (where I'm helping out with music), and I am really looking forward to it. I'm preaching on Acts 13:47-48, and it's a very special passage to me. As I see it, this wraps up the mission of the church in a nice, neat little package.
Basically, if I get the opportunity to plant a church, it would be based on this passage, and I would most likely preach from it the first week. So I'm looking at this Sunday as a rough draft to the future.
But not only that, it will be a great opportunity to challenge the church I'm at to think about their goals, and give them some concrete ideas for outreach and growth.
In addition, I have a sermon due for preaching class three days later, which I am (perhaps foolishly) taking from a completely different passage. That one will be from Psalm 37 on dealing with enemies.
If you read this, pray for me. I'm going to try to use my preaching opportunity to invite some people from work who aren't exactly the "churchy" type. Should be exciting.

Hm, the day you posted this I was in church listening to a sermon on that passage. I started going to Reconciliation Community Church with L.A.'s mom now, and I really like it. Anyway, I'm subscribing to your blog now that you finally got in contact with me! Love, your lil sis
