How a sermon comes together…
Saturday April 3rd, at 10am, I am hosting a 1hr “behind the scenes” to the message on Sunday. This is for folks interested in public speaking, building a lesson or sermon, etc. I will show you how it comes together and getting your input on the final components of the message. We will talk about where the concept comes from, how I research, where application comes in, memory techniques, etc.
It’s open to all. Show up at 10am Sat in the sanctuary. Below is a diagram of some of the content at the core of the message.
See you there.

I’m a brilliant artist…huh??? 🙂
“Pain and Suffering means you lose. Death is the end.”
During the Holy Week experience we see the full cycle of life. It is a microcosm of life.
TRIUMPHANT ENTRY | SUPPER | PRAYER | ARREST/TRIAL | SUFFERING | DEATH | BURIAL | RESURRECTION
The generics of the above are:
HAPPINESS | COMMUNITY | TRIAL | LOSS/BETRAYAL | DEATH | MOURNING | NEW LIFE
We see this pattern in our whole life (our general path to salvation). And like Jesus we see many mini versions of this throughout our lives (various trials and tribulations).
Examples of losses:
Suffering/death experiences:
- Loss of job
- Loss of loved one
- Loss of marriage
- Loss of trust
When we go through these experiences we must apply what Jesus did at the cross in order to make it through our losses and “deaths”.
Ultimately, we must apply what he did on the cross to the entirety of our life in order to overcome our ultimate death (end of life on earth).
The concept above is our message for Sunday, March 21. I would love your input.
The lie: “PAIN AND SUFFERING MEANS YOU LOST. DEATH IS THE END.” – the devil

Dove Awards for Phillips Craig and Dean??
Phillips, Craig, and Dean (PCD) have been singing together since 1991. 19 years. When you go back and look at their first album cover, you will laugh out loud at their clothes. However, unlike many artists, they have stayed relevant through the years. They have sold literally millions of records. They have had over 18 #1 songs. Their last release “Revelation Song” was number one for 13 weeks.
