Making Sausage

If you are from Big Creek and have been visiting my blog to see the process of how I develop my sermons, I fear that that it is not a pretty sight. It may look a lot like making sausage. Like sausage, you appreciate the end product, but you don't want to see how it is made - or you'll never eat another sausage again. Well I have seen sausage made - and I eat all the time (in fact I like Scrapple - if you are from Pennsylvania you'll know what I am talking about.) The process begins with properly understanding and studying the text. This week's sermon on the Power of the Kingdom, I will be examining Ezekiel 36:26,27. It is the packaging and delivering the sermon that is a non-linear process that takes thought, imagination and creativity.
