I have one more commentary to finish writing before I can dig into my sermons, and it’s nearly done! In fact, were I not blogging tonight – which I need to since it’s deadline week – I would have finished it by now.
One of the things I enjoy is the chance to teach the same topic again from a different emphasis. This final Torah portion I’m teaching before writing my sermons is like that.
I taught this portion last year and focused on the shadows of Messiah found in the life of Joseph. This year, I’m focusing on what we can learn from Joseph when it comes to resisting temptation; not just that he does it, but how he does it.
I’m still leaning toward my sermons focusing on the topic of Making It Real, but I’m remaining open in my prayer life for the L-RD to direct me to another topic if He wishes. We should know soon.
Why my last two sermons aren’t up yet
Monday, February 1st, 2010
OK, here’s the reason why my last two sermons at Beth Yeshua aren’t up yet: when my flash drive crashed a couple weeks ago, I lost my only copy of my sermon on the Parable of the Widow and the Unjust Ruler. And it was a lengthy sermon, coming in at over 4,000 words.
I had a print-out, so I was able to deliver it just fine; I even have the audio file uploaded and ready to rock. But I have to re-type it out, which is long, boring work and I just haven’t had the time, since the only reason I’d be doing it is for the blog.
Fortunately, in addition to a new flash drive, I also have a new back-up hard drive, so I should soon be better-protected against data loss than ever. That wouldn’t have helped in this case, though, since I had only just finished the sermon and printed it out before the flash drive crashed.
