So Sunday You Laid An Egg…

It happens eventually.

No matter how good of a communicator you are, you will lay a big 0le stinky egg on stage one Sunday.  It happened to me this past Sunday.

Or so I thought….

As a pastor/preacher/communicator, I am my own worst critic.  As soon as I step off the stage Sundays, I can usually give you an analysis of how I thought I did.  This past Sunday, even though I loved the topic  and I was really prepared, I felt as though I laid an egg with my message.

As someone who communicates the most important message in the world every week, sucking it up is not what you want to do.

But praise be to God, that it’s not up to you how your message comes across.  That’s the job of the Holy Spirit.

I’m thankful that God still used what I thought was an egg to speak to people.

I’m constantly reminded that JESUS said HE would build HIS Church.  Not me.

Then I’m reminded of this as well...For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. – Matthew 10:20

THANK YOU JESUS

Preach the Gospel to the best of your ability and then get out of the way.  Your egg may not stink as bad as you thought.
