Yesterday was a cool experience. A few days ago I posted my message for Sunday mornings worship service. Doing “the sermon” is not something I enjoy since it is beyond my training and fills me with incredible feelings of unworthiness and angst. I suppose I am so worried that I’m going to say something stupid and people are going to be made aware of the affect that I’m not too bright and then after the service they will meet and decide to fire me. So maybe I just don’t like to do the sermon since I don’t want to end up working at Taco Bell. “Would you like any hot sauce?”
At any rate, enough about my feelings. The message that I shared was not only well received with “that was a real good job, thank you,”instead, there was a very nice response to my challenge and a lot of people came forward with their commitment. That was very encouraging that they “got it.” And I definitely feel this is an area of our church family we need to work on. I long to see our church family be one that approached ministry together with an eye of “what’s in it for us” as opposed to “what’s in it for me?”
The “bad news” is that I have a feeling I will be asked to do that again next time Bob goes out of town.
