Thanks for the sermon topics!

Thank you, Stacey, for the sermon topic ideas that you shared. They're great and I'm working them into the schedule for 2007:
1. God's will and our will
2. The 12 disciples
3. Poverty
4. Grace
5. The Holy Spirit

We also got the following topics in the Worship Response form on Sunday:

1. Solomon/Ecclesiastes ("vanity of vanities, all is vanity").
2. The relationship of character traits and scriptural principles in today's society.
3. Charity - when God places you in a situation where you give you are being given a gift.
4. Democrat/Republican: we're all still Christians no matter what our political views and should be able to worship together and feel welcome.

Any other ideas out there?

What would God say?

I need your help. During the next two weeks, I am praying and reflecting on what God would have said in the sermons during the new church year: December 2006 - November 2007. What would Jesus say? What does he want said? What do God's people at Trinity and in our community need to hear?

Would you help? What do you think? Please leave your thoughts as comments in this blog entry.

What should I preach about and what should we focus on this next year?
