Preaching in Class

This morning we had another round of preaching. Dr. Baucum was stuck in Washington, D.C. and couldn't make it to class, so incoming instructor Kent Reynolds was asked to step into that slot for today.Kent is a natural. He'll do fine job as a preaching instructor next year.Jim preached from the opening verses of Matthew 6. It was an excellent sermon on the need to empty ourselves so that God's Spirit can fill us and use us in such a way that we are not mindful of ourselves or how we're perceived.
I was supposed to preach today, but Gordon won't be here on his assigned day (Thursday) so he asked if I wouldn't mind having an extra two days to prepare. I, of course, obliged.

Gordon gave his best sermon yet. He was more relaxed than ever and he preached on the obligation to forgive. One great line, "Jesus took the forgiveness of the temple to the streets."

Another good day of preaching.
