I'm posting again so that must mean that I preached somewhere!

On Monday I preached for the SFTS community at our noontime chapel service. It was an opportunity that came up quickly - I was only given 5 days to prepare. But prepare I did. When I looked through the lectionary texts for the day I was drawn to the text from 1 Timothy 1. This is a book of the bible that was used as a text for many sermons in churches I attended as a child but I can't recall hearing sermons based on it as an adult. Because of that I felt that I really needed to use it for my sermon. Through the study and preparation for preaching, I am force to struggle with the text and come to some understanding of how it fits into the overall message of the bible as I understand it.

And that is what happened for me with this text. You can read my end product (the sermon) here: Not Either/Or but Both/And.
