Sermon experiment

I am trying something new on Sunday. For me, it is a significant change of declaring God's word. For most hearers, there likely won't be any change. In other words, they won't notice the difference. Here's what I'm doing: Rather than exegeting Scripture and encouraging the work of implication for the life of our community and the lives of those in our community, I am exegeting my life and implying the work of God through one passage at different times in my story. The goal is to encourage people to work out of their lives the word of God at different points. The challenge at the end, though, is the important part: Tell the story, share your exegesis of life with others. Now we're starting to read, both our lives and Scripture, communally.

Please pray for Sunday.
