I was expecting to take one service today talking about the pharisees and what Jesus thought of them, but instead a fellow preacher was indisposed and I took her service in the afternoon. Previously in the morning I had been gently talking to God about the fact that I didn't have very many services coming up and maybe he could find me a few more. I didn't expect such a prompt answer to my prayer.Do you talk to God like that, just like talking to a friend? You can only do it if you have Jesus in your life. He is the one who makes you and God into friends because he has died to wash away your sin. It is truly wonderful to have God as your friend.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
