I am still studing these comcepts...While I have preached for years there is alway's room for improvment...I am still learning how to preach. I read all that I get my hands on and yet I feel like I have not done as good a job connecting with the people as I know I should...We had dinner with 2 couples last night and one of them said I have been in church for year, I am new to this church, I am hanging on each word because I really enjoy how you preach...Unfortunately of course not everyonethiks that..I find my self getting depresssed that I want to do better, I should do better but if I was better preacher the palce would be packed out....Blessings...
