How many of you remember Steve Urkel? He was a fictional character on the ABC/CBS television sitcom Family Matters. Aside from being annoying and always capable of messing things up, he had a unique catchphrase: “Did I do that?”
I was reminded of Urkel when I happened to listed to a sermon I preached last year. You see, I had asked Siri to randomly play music on my iPhone while I was driving (I wasn’t talking). After a few random songs came and went, a sermon I preached a year ago queued up.
I posted this message a while back, but I am going to do it again. As I listed to it I almost had the feeling of listening to a totally different person – not me. It was almost like, “Did I preach that?” But, that’s how the Spirit works sometimes. I may have not needed that message for myself until just yesterday.
The following sermon was recorded while we were remodeling our sanctuary. We held services in our gym. This sermon was second in a series through the book of Ephesians. The part of the sermon that really spoke to me this time was the part towards the end…”But God…”
“The Holy Spirit in Ephesians”
To bring you up to date, I am now doing a study through 1 Corinthians on Sunday evenings at Riverside. The following was preached on March 23, 2014.
1 Corinthians 2 (Mysteries)
As I see it, I may never be able to travel the world preaching God’s Word, but as long as we still have the internet I’m gonna take advantage of this opportunity. I’m not the greatest preacher, and certainly not the only one you can access online, but at least I’m getting the “message” out to some, right?
God bless you, friends. Have a great Lord’s Day!
That’s exactly how I feel when I go back and read what I’ve written. Totally an answer to the prayer I pray continually…
Lord, let these words be yours and not mine.
Love that feeling.
Because I LOVE The Lord!
