I am preaching from the Gospel passage this week - a passage I have never preached from before. Being challenged by my meditations on it, and not yet sure where it will take us.

I think that this passage is a great illustration of what Steve Green said about the task of preaching: "The call to preach is the call to struggle with the word of God in the presence of the people of God."

preaching the gospel as well. Been on vacation and came back with quite a passage to struggle with and wrestle over. Almost feel there is too much to learn here in too little time.
