joshua's panel

sunday in the middle of praise and worship time, corken came up to me and asked if i would be part of a discussion panel instead of the sermon. when i asked him the topic, he said, "you'll see." uhmm... ok..
the text we were given was this:
joshua 1:9 "have i not commanded you? be strong and corageous. do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."
it was an interesting way to hold a service. corken gave us all a few minutes to think about the text, and to read the context if we wanted. then, doro, corken and i went up on stage and discussed it. complete with testimonies from our own lives and cross-referencing to other passages! it was fun.

i am enjoying trying out different styles of "sermon." next week i am preaching again, and am considering making upa "choose your own adventure" style theater piece centered on psalm 103... we'll see..
