So, I just had an awesome conversation with my brother-in-law about preaching vs. teaching. I have discovered that I really want to become a teacher on stage more than a preacher on stage. It is cool to be honest with yourself and have someone who can bring that out.
This Sunday, we will be covering John 10:30: "I (Jesus) and the Father are one." Wow, do you think your kids are ready for this? I don't think I am ready, but I know God is. I think the sermon will involve an apple getting cut into three pieces. Each piece is all apple, but each piece is not the whole apple. Does that make sense? In the same way, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all God, but they individually are not our whole God.
Time for feedback. If you would rather not leave a comment, you can feel free to e-mail me.
Grace and Peace,
Brantley
About Me
- Brantley Johnson
- I am First - a Christ-Follower, Second - a Husband, Third - a children's Minister, Fourth - a student at Liberty University, and Fifth - a guy who mixes paint to support his wife. My passion for these kids is for them to grow to know and understand the fundamentals of Christ-Following. I was raised in church as a "Church Kid." I knew the Bible stories of Noah, David and Goliath, and Moses. However, when I came out of children's church I was nothing more than a kid who knew some cool stories. I want to begin shaping your kids into Christ-Followers now, before they start hitting bigger decisions than, "Do I want Lucky Charms or Pop Tarts for breakfast?" One thing that I ask for you to keep in mind is that I am their teacher on Sunday mornings - you are their teacher through the rest of the week. Grace and Peace, Brantley
