Ejection-Seat Pews
During our recent visit with family in Florida, I saw this commercial for the UCC. What do you think? HT: Mark Fletcher

Facing our Fear
Preached yesterday at my father-in-law's church in Hunt Valley, MD. They are a great bunch - very warm and welcoming of us. My parents drove over to attend the service as well, along with both my brothers and a visiting missionary friend from Uganda. I had a lot of fun, even though I was feeling sick most of the weekend - the Spirit gave me extra strength to get through both services without feeling any ill effects.
The sermon was from Isaiah 43 - a passage very close to my heart. I have tried lately to structure my sermons around the passage (rather than around "3 points" or something like that). So yesterday's sermon was basically a running commentary on the passage, with connecting verses and stories thrown in. I like doing it that way, because it's harder to forget your "points" when the passage is right in front of you. I also think it helps people learn to encounter God in the Bible for themselves.
You should be able to listen here - though as of Monday morning my message isn't up yet.
