Blar! I spent so long writing my sermon that I neglected the blog. Hm.
Maybe that's allowed? If I do lots of writing otherwise... Nah.
This will be short, though, as it's after midnight now. I wrote about the last of four messages God repeats throughout scripture. The Rev. Rich Villodas came up with these (unless he got them from elsewhere). They are
I love you
I am with you
Do not be afraid
You can come home.
I wrote about homecoming, mostly using Luke 15's parable of the Prodigal Son and relying heavily on Henri Nouwen's The Return of the Prodigal Son. And Psalm 137.
Right now,the sermon is . . . fine. It'll need another look-over tomorrow morning. It's too long, as most sermons are.
But God grant me the grace to be a good instrument for your words. May I step out of your way, and may you speak your messages through me as you would.
More tomorrow.
