I had opportunity to minster yesterday and I feel like I bombed it...but I am going to go head and listen and take some notes.
I am aware that I did not give myself to the proper amount of preparation which was challenge in and of itself.
1. Print Your Notes Out - Mainly the scriptures using them on alternate paper is helpful when technology is not inline with your presentation.
About 20 Mins In
1. So far only issue is that was no real feel and no apparent connection between my text and the text Genesis 4:1-8.
- The highlight of both Genesis 3 / 4 was intent to highlight the nature of sin and its ability to distort on the internal, external and eternal levels.
About 36 mins in
I present a point that does not directly connect to the point I was trying to make.
- The safeguard against temptation does not connect to the natures of sin but only for when we fall what we fall into. The safeguard of fellowship does not prevent death of george floyd or condemn chavauin.
The only connect that could be made that would make this make sense is that sin and this fallen world launches and onslaught against believers upon which we must defend and support each other defending against.
Topics in the time ( Temptation and Fellowships).
God as father used a verse that talks about Jesus role in declare the father was improperly positioned.
Romans " We have been the given the spirit of adoption whereby we cry abba father." or John " If you have seen me you have seen the father..."
The connection point understand and relate to the father is good...because this is through the son. but that is a loose connection.
Another loose connection - 4:17-20
The nature of the conversation dealing with being our brothers keeper should be tied to the reality that God is our father and we have family tie that it deeper than our skin, sex and creed. There is a spiritual connection called human that God is pleased with.
If I were to spend less time being a contrarion and more time understanding what is in front of me I might not have that much of an issue with where I am.
I dont really need to listen to the rest of my sermon...I am but Ill ready know where I am going.
