While I have been saying for a while that I believe the theme for my upcoming two-part sermon (and the other than that will be a condensed form of the same message) might be Making It Real, I’m not closing in on writing time for these messages and I now believe my topic, while still thematically linked to that idea, will revolve around a pair of parables from Rabbi Yeshua himself.
Of course, parables are tricky things, so this is no small undertaking, but I like the idea of drawing the message out of these parables, rather than imposing a theme and searching for support. So this is probably the way I’ll be going.
Here’s a preview: one of my messages will focus in on the parable of the talents; the other may focus on the parable of the debtor. Unless the Ru’ach haKodesh guides me otherwise, of course.
