Back to preaching
After a long hiatus, I was invited to preach at my church’s youth group at their weekly Saturday evening meeting. I preached on the “falls of the just person” as stated in Proverbs 24:16 [show]Proverbs 24:16
[16]for the righteous falls seven times and rises again,
but the wicked stumble in times of calamity.
. So far, it looks like the sermon was well-received. (I plan to post the notes soon.)
It was nice to be back in preaching. I was quite out of “homiletical shape”, so it was more difficult than usual; but it was nevertheless a blessing for me. Adding to that, seeing so many new faces in the youth group was a real bonus.
Please keep praying for my church, who is facing some difficult times with several issues affecting the congregation, and especially for the youth group: seemingly untouched by those issues, it is very sensitive to anything disturbing the peace of the congregation.
