There's something there that fits a situation, perhaps.<BR/><BR/>The first sentence is always the most difficult!Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902992.post-84180072844878125162007-10-28T13:34:00.000+00:002007-10-28T13:34:00.000+00:00Hope it goes well.Personally I hink that it's good...Hope it goes well.<BR/><BR/>Personally I hink that it's good that you try to keep it fresh all the time. Of course there are those times when God has an important message for his people... and they need to hear it again. So I don't believe there is a concrete rule to say thou shalt or shalt not recycle.<BR/><BR/>Just have to remember to move where the Spirit takes you... and if thats an old message reinforced or a new word for the people... just go with what God lays on your heart.<BR/><BR/>Heh that makes it all sound soooooo easy. :-)Nick Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05330676077919368541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7902992.post-50278394152594148582007-10-28T01:42:00.000+00:002007-10-28T01:42:00.000+00:00Okay, then use one of my old sermons! Basically, ...Okay, then use one of my old sermons! Basically, the Bible is an anthology. Between it's pages you find documentation of man's relationship with God. Within the Bible we find stories on how we should act (examples here) and how we shouldn't act (examples here).<BR/><BR/>For the most part the people in the stories are no different then you or I. Let's take Moses for example. Moses was the typical pew sitter -- not me, get someone else -- kind of guy. However, when he finally agreed to trust God ...<BR/><BR/>Do the same with Abraham and Sarah, Noah, Paul, etc. Little viginettes. Then end by suggesting they argue fewer can't, and test their faith. <BR/><BR/>Ta da!<BR/><BR/>Except by now you've already finished your own sermon, right?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
