i am updating my site and realized that i never shared this talk i gave at church for Good Friday. i was challenging because i lead music as well, but all in all i think it went really well. honestly i was intimidated to preach on Good Friday but i was happy with the result. at any rate, judge for yourself. download below:

My First Sermon

jasen — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 21:56:08 +0000

This past Sunday, 8/21 – i was given the honor of preaching at arcade church, where i typically lead worship. needless to say it was a different role for me to play – at the same time i was incredibly excited about it. i have been serving in church ministry for quite some time now and never actually given the responsibility to preach on a sunday morning. so this was a first for me.

the week of preparation had some challenges, at the same time i really enjoyed diving into scripture, wrestling with it with friends and crafting what it was God wanted me to say. The sermon comes from Genesis 12:1-4 – a scripture section that has been instrumental in my story.

here is the link for the sermon – Blessed to be a Blessing. take a listen – would love some feedback

enjoy
