Lists – like preaching out of the phone book?

January 24, 2012

Fresh Read preached last week a message on a list.  Romans 12:6-8 which lists 7 ministry gifts.

First of all, recalling a systematic theology class where a professor read from wrinkled notes on the attributes of God to a sonorious audience, I recoiled.  ”Who is God?” That should fascinate not put to sleep.

So, we went for a “picture book”.  Let’s look at the 7 ministries (a sampling of a larger number in scripture of 25 to 30 in all) with a short definition and a story from the Bible or life.

At the end of church I noticed some folks taking a copy of sutdy notes and enough signed up to justify an extended class on “discovering your gift.”
