Football! The very word brings to mind cooler evening temperatures, the smell of grass, and the crunch of football pads. Catch up with me in this week's podcast as we talk about football, 40Days in the Word, the ethical issues of using someone else's sermons, and the CR weekend sermon, "Tackling Treachery."
[0:30] Intro - I talk about the surreal Saturday morning I had when I watched my grandson Grayden play tackle football. I review this past week and the changeover in sermon preparation.
[12:50] 40 Days In The Word - I discuss the
new sermon series by Rick Warren and the work I've done this past week to get ready. I then review the campaign coming up in another week at CR. I hope everyone at CR and in our podcast audience will join us for the
40 Days of Devotionals. This is free!
[26:01] Preaching Someone Else's Sermon - What are the practical and ethical issues of preaching someone else's sermons. I talk about 4 advantages of using someone else's sermons AND I review 4 considerations to make before doing this.
[40:02] What Does "Chief End" Mean? - This will wrap up our first question from the Westminster Confession of Faith Shorter Catechism: "What is the chief end of man?" You can pick up a copy of G. I. Williams' excellent book
here.
[49:27] CR Sermon: "Tackling Treachery" - How do we respond when we are persecuted? What happens when the political winds shift away from us? Join me for 3 choices we must make consistently over our lifetimes if we want to be able to respond like Daniel did when he faced the den of lions.
[1:28:50] Wrap Up - Listen to my thoughts on this Sunday night following the Church Requel service tonight and the Pavilion service this morning.
Music for this week's podcast is "Drum Cadences (w/band vocals)" by The Ohio State University Marching Band 2002.
