The last whole month I’ve enjoyed the chance (and the discipline) to speak based on four of the five Solas. In fact, the pastors in our two districts in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor all did the same which I thought was a good idea. Here are the slides (in pdf) I used for each sermon…

Preaching on the Run
I’ve been waiting for Chris Erdman to kind of finish his posts then print it all out to read before I post anything up … but since I’m still trying to figure out how I lost my bookmarks and awaiting a miracle. I thought linking all the following will do me some good 😛 Preaching…
Preaching on the Run: Toward Simpler Way to Prepare
What Chris Erdmans writes here is so liberating and real …. allow me to lift up some paragraphs … I’d learned somewhere along the way that a good pastor spent his (and it was always “his”) mornings in exegesis and study, and his afternoons in calling and other administrative tasks.

Instead of preaching, I’m simply talking, out of the breadth of my knowledge and experience, in immediate…
