Preach it Preacha!
I'm not a preacher nor do I play one on Sunday mornings. And yet, here I am trying to put together a "sermon" for tomorrow night's service.
No, I have not put this off to the last minute. That would be about 11:00 tonight. Besides, I have notes in my Pocket PC that I've been jotting down for the last two weeks. I just need to assemble them into something coherent. The thing is, I'm not very much into teaching adults. No offense to any adults reading this but you guys intimidate the heck out of me.
I am very much into letting God stretch me. With the Lord's help I'll get through this without committing any major heresy. Maybe I'll come out of this a little bit better of a minister. Truth is I've done this twice before. But this is the first time at Miami and the other two times were nerve-racking too. So ya'll pray.
It's going to be about spiritual growth, specifically what is keeping us from growing spiritually. And like any good sermon it's got three points:
Complacency - Being satisfied where you're at
Secret Sin - Hiding from God
Ignorance - Lack of discipleship

I know this is nerve racking. I have done it three times a week for 6 years and I still get nervous every time. Your outline looks good, I will listen to your sermon when I get back. The thing about is I would rather teach adults than teens, adults won't tell you if you did a bad job or didn't understand. They will just say "enjoyed it Greg" and go on about their business. Teens will call you names and let you know you are no good. If you want to get in good with the adults, do something I have not learned to do yet, let them out early. They will LOVE you. will pray for you man and I know you'll do a good job.
A little heresy always gets people thinking, though :-)
