Prayer Support

I spent last week pretty nervous about my sermon, "Sex is Good (very good)." I don't know why I was nervous, I've preached on sex lots of times. But over the years, both my approach and our congregation has changed. We've got more people from completely irreligious backgrounds, so I realize I can't pull the "Sex is for marriage and that's the way it is" approach anymore.

On Friday, I sent an email to the entire church asking them to pray for me as I prepared the message. I wanted God's guidance as I sought to stay faithful to God's plan for our sexuality while also being full of grace and respecting the process of turning over your entire life to Christ. I think I did a pretty good job. Erin said it was actually one of the best messages I'd ever preached, which is really saying something :)!

But the coolest thing was the power I could feel as I was preaching. Sometimes I can just sense that the Holy Spirit is speaking through me and Sunday was one of those times. It's amazing what happens when people pray, huh?
