Hello pastors, I'm back to preaching again. As I'm taking part 2 of the same class, my professor has asked me to preach next week to show the part 1 students what a homily looks like. The pastor's group which consists of pastors from Eugene and surrounding communities are preaching on the same schedule and next week, the sermons are on Matthew 8.
When I saw that I really had to laugh hard. A crippled 28-year-old preaching on Christ healing infirmity. The irony was as amusing as it was thought-provoking. It does provide an interesting question: if there was a non-believer or an atheist in the room, how would a cripple or other disabled preacher talk about healing and not be in danger of strengthening their skepticism?
I would be very grateful if my pastor friends would be willing to give me some pointers on the subject.
Also, as some of you know, I keep a blog (http://ke7ejxlighthouse.blogspot.com) that I post on occasionally. Would it be self-serving if I posted my weekly sermons on my blog so that I might get feedback from seasoned professionals?
Thanks!
