Preaching this week

My brother (my Pastor) has given me the opportunity to speak at church this weekend. It's funny, before I came to New Life I was preaching two messages on Sunday, teaching Sunday School and leading the Wednesday Night Bible study. Now, I get so busy doing all of the other "assistant pastor" stuff that I forget it's been a while since I've preached. Besides, Dan does an awesome job bringing the Word each week.

I appreciate the opportunity and I'm still amazed that God chooses to use people (especially me) to spread the Good News. Seems like there would be a better way, but it's cool to be a part of His plan. I'd appreciate your prayers as I prepare for this Sunday.

The greatest thing about the church that I attend is there is a wealth of men who can preach. As you said here Pastor does an "awesome" job
... He does, He's incredible.

BUT

So do YOU.

I have been praying for you like a nun.

You'll do awesome..
