The church is full of visitors, children are back in school, and Bible Study has begun. Currently, I’m facilitating two Disciple Bible studies in my local congregation, and as… Read more »
I am bread
I’ve been experimenting with a different style of preaching for the current worship series in my Church–“light. bread. name. life.” I typically preach using a narrative style, using stories to share the word.
