Up To Bat

Next Wednesday I'm up to bat again. I will be hosting/co-hosting our Wednesday night Bible Study at the church. We have had a few teacher meetings and everything seems to be going well. I will be sharing a message about "coming in" to God's presence (worship) and "going out" with God's presence (witnessing). I'm excited to give this timely message which will teach a few points on what worshipping God does for us. My message will also cover going to the world with God's message. I am sad to say this message is not original. I didn't come up with it from my own personal devotion time. God didn't necessarily speak it in my heart. I did in fact get it from a sermon series I heard online. It was a four part series and I felt the first two parts of the series would make a great Bible Study. I'm not really concerned about my originality quite yet. After leading a couple Wednesday nights I've come to realize I need to concentrate more on my deliverance of my message. I need to get the butterflies out. It seems my brain fills with a fog as soon as I get in front of everyone. So I will use this time to try and flow through a message. I'm thankful that I will be up to bat with someone else. This will shorten the time issue. So much stress comes from trying to fill the entire time slot.
