You are cordially invited...

09 January 2007

I'm preaching this Sunday in both of our church services (8:30 and 11). The title of my sermon, as of now, is "God's Broken Heart." It'll be on adoption, centering on James 1:27. I'm looking forward to it, though preaching on Sunday morning still feels somewhat rigid to me. There's no room for dialogue or interaction...just me on stage and 'them' listening. I don't think I'll ever be comfortable in that setting, but it's tolerable 4-5 times a year, especially if it's an issue that I'm passionate about, such as adoption. "Become all things to all people," right?

If you live in or near NW Ohio, consider yourself invited (contact me for directions). Or, if you're looking for someone to speak to a group about adoption, contact me and I'd be happy to do whatever I can to oblige.

Hey Drew,

Go for it. If you're interested check out my verse by verse blog of James - http://thebookofjames.wordpress.com

I'll be praying for you. And congrats on the adoption of your little girl. You are a rich man indeed!

YES!! Great text... Not that I'm biased, or anything... YES!!!! Wish I were going to be anywhere near Ohio, but, well, I'm not. I would love to read a copy of your sermon, though (to add to the "Drew" pile...). =]
God be with you~
