I had the incredible opportunity to preach at New City. It was a lot of fun for my first message . I had a tremendous amount of things going on during my prep week (Board of Directors meeting, our stuff arrived on Saturday, I didn’t have any study resources until late Saturday night, etc, etc.) and I didn’t allow myself a proper amount of time to really soak in the passage. I saw the direct results and made several mistakes hermeneutically and homiletically. I understand the great importance of studying a text, but this time I saw my great need to soak in a passage, to allow it to grip me and have it’s way in my heart and mind. Lesson learned. You can listen to it here.
