I was ‘out of the pulpit’ on Sunday, June 28th. I journeyed to Macon, Georgia with the youth from our church so that we could attend PASSPORTmissions. We had a great week (although it was WAY HOT), and my congregation was treated to a message from Larry Hovis, the coordinator of the North Carolina Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
Now that I’m back, however, my fellow Marshvillians and I are starting a new message series, one based on John Ortberg’s book, When the Game Is Over It All Goes Back in the Box. As with so many of Ortberg’s tomes, what I often want to do is to pull up a chair and simply read them to my congregation. But I don’t know that anybody would be satisfied with that approach. So I do my best to ’spin’ his insights through my own mental centrifuge.
I felt really good about the effort for Sunday, July 5th (the first of four). What do you think?
