Today was our last Tuesday of class. Kind of really bitter sweet. This week is our finals week. Our finals are our 2 sermons delivered to the class. So todays class was on preaching, how to preach and get your message across effectively. For homework, each student had to come up with a general theme for our future ministries, and two scriptures that represent them (which will eventually lead to our two sermons). We will learn more about the preaching process tomorrow, and further create our new sermons based on the new things we learn! Pretty exciting!
One topic we covered, which was a relief for me, is the fear of public speaking. It is no secret I am terrified of public speaking! But a great reminder is that fear is not of God. "For He did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind". If the devil can cause you enough fear to not speak aloud about Jesus, than he is succeeding! Do not let that happen. Push back your fear, and share the gospel freely! You do your part of preaching, and God will do His part and will show up! What a relief you aren't relying on yourself completely! He will never leave us!
On the way home, I got to ride in the front top of the double decker bus! 45 minutes of lovely views unobstructed by heads! Very nice!
