Wendy and I were talking about how sermons should bring our own lives into sharp focus. Sermons that talk about how terrible all those people “Out there” are not valuable at all and actually push people away from the Kingdom.
It reminded me of this sermon.
This sermon uses a my own life and the struggles I was facing to bring hearers away from seeing Judas as someone who sits apart from us to someone who may even sit in our pew.
I love this article. This is my current favorite Christian parenting article and it speaks to many of the same things. Note: it’s not really about the Duggars
