This sermon is more than a few years old. As I go back through it I can see that I had not preached for awhile and it looks like it, and sounds like it (if I said "uh" one more time I think I'd have lost it, literally). Yes, preaching is a lot of fun but you have to do it regularly to stay in the groove. I was at Gravel Hill for 5 years and only preached about 4 times on a Sunday morning - yes, that's 4 times from a possible 260 sermons. What can I say?
Despite the problems, the congregation seemed to like this sermon, probably more because of the videos I used, but I still hope it was at least in part due to the message. I had people walking up to me literally months afterwards, repeating back to me what I had them reciting during the message (long after I had forgotten the sermon). The senior pastor hated it and said I set the congregation back 10 years. Perhaps a bit melodramatic but again, what can I say?
