Whew, I'm glad last week is over. It was good at times, less good at others, but exhausting all the time.
So, as I mentioned, we went back to the old church on Sunday, and I preached (if that's what you want to call it . . . there seems to be an
active discussion going on about what that means . . . for now I'll leave that alone. I spoke on the Sermon on the Mount (or as Dallas Willard is fond of calling it, the Discourse on the Hill) - oooohhhhh, original, huh?
I have to say I wasn't sure of what to expect, but it was a weird thing to be back with them. Definitely good to see some old friends and stuff, but I really kinda felt out of place. I love them and they love me, but it was pretty clear to me that we don't fit together. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how my relationship with this church develops over the next one or two or three or ten years. I'm expecting good things.
For now, I'm happy to just be simple and focus more and more on the transforming life of God's Kingdom, and His righteousness.
