Comfort Zone - Step out

Step out. Try something different. Take a risk.

On Sunday, I did something that was a challenge for me. I am a reader. I love to read and learn. Sermon preparation often involves reading and thinking. The transition from study to delivery can sometimes be short. The delivery can sound like reading. This week I didn't write a manuscript of the sermon. Instead, I wrote an outline. Then I delivered the message 90% away from the pulpit. It felt more intimate. I hope that the message was closer to home for people, and that they took it with them to perform.
