I can't really explain it any other way other than to say the Holy Spirit is working within me. You see, this Sunday I am preaching my first sermon. At least in front of adults anyway. I wrote a while back in my blog about how I felt when I put my name in the hat to be used where and when needed to preach at the Camden County campus of Christ's Church. Now the day is getting closer and I can't explain how excited I am. As I was preparing my sermon notes last night, I just couldn't get enough of it. I hated crawling into bed because I wanted to keep at it.
There is also little doubt that God's hand played a part in the topic of the sermon series we are in this Sunday. It's titled Man-up and it deals with being the kind of man God has designed us to be. We look at it from 4 different view points and the first deals with our role as husbands. This is something dear to my heart because my wife and I have attended our share of marriage seminars and I have a deep desire to be the husband He wants me to be. Regrettably, I fall very short. A lot. But I keep plugging away and pray that God will continue to refine me until I at least resemble the man in Ephesians 5.
I pray that God's words will be my words this Sunday. I also covet your prayers for a safe journey.
PS. Please feel free to post a comment. I explain the ease of doing so in the previous blog. Thanks!
