Who considers the power of your anger, and your wrath according to the fear of you? So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom. — Psalm 90:11-12

Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools. Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?” For it is not from wisdom that you ask this. — Ecclesiastes 7:9-10

I just caught a foul ball with my bare hands. I have become a legend among the crowd.

@CT_Lenard It's a harder model (for me), and I generally preach once a month in that format, departing from consecutive expository. Currently, the once-a-month is on the essential attributes of God.

@Andrew_SDG Haha I’ll have to put some thought into that one. It’s funny because I get asked to do that somewhat frequently and haven’t made a template for it yet (and I’m a template guy!)

I’ve spent a few years tweaking my sermon prep process to be more balanced, efficient, clear, and replicable. The images below show the sermon prep template I’ve been using for the past year ( which has been really enjoyable and helpful to me). I use the same 7 questions from the @simeontrust worksheets, but have added helpful insights I’ve gained from: 1️⃣ @jasonderouchie & @AndyNaselli’s helpful books “How to Understand and Apply the OT/NT: Twelve Steps from Exegesis to Theology.” 2️⃣Steve Wellum and @TrentHunter’s “Christ from Beginning to End” 3️⃣ @dandoriani’s excellent book on application “Putting the Truth to Work.” My chart is a summary of his main ideas. 4️⃣ @jeremypierre’s excellent work “The Dynamic Heart in Daily Life.” The heart image comes from his book. 5️⃣As for sermon outline and delivery, @tonymerida’s “Christ-Centered Expositor” has shaped me most.

@CT_Lenard I did! I'd also love to have that 2-page form as a document.

That’s a great question! I don’t have a process that’s as worked out for topics/themes. I typically still pick a single passage to do that with and just nuance with other scriptures or do a little more biblical theology/doctrinal explanation than I normally do. But I may just have to make one now; you got excited to see what I’d change! haha

We are the Bible FELLOWSHIP Church. BFC Conference gave time for talking with one another and catching up. @Andrew_SDG @tim_bertolet

@happyhomemakerr Very cool

My dishwasher magnet. It may be too frivolous for me. I usually don't buy such unnecessary stuff. Not sure if I will keep it or send it back.

After this thing, Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but made priests for the high places again from among all the people. Any who would, he ordained to be priests of the high places. — 1 Kings 13:33

He (Jereboam) went up to the altar that he had made in Bethel on the fifteenth day in the eighth month, in the month that he had devised from his own heart. And he instituted a feast for the people of Israel and went up to the altar to make offerings. — 1 Kings 12:33
