I’m a little nervous about Thursday’s Youth Service.
Usually, we have the usual: some youth testimonies, a special song, the praise service, and then one of our youth brings the Word of God to us.
And we’ve been doing this for a long time, so we should be used to it by now.
Still…. I was asked to actually do the preaching on Thursday. Yes, you read correctly.
As the Director of Music and Drama, I’ve often been asked to sing a special song, or do a special skit before someone preaches, but i’ve never been told to actually DO the preaching.
Well, that’s not totally true. I did preach once before, but that was not just me, but 2 more young preachers as well. Still, on Thursday, its going to be just me. for the whole hour.
Still, i shouldn’t feel too nervous. I know that God’s with me, and if its his will i preach, then i will gladly do so. But as humans, we’re all bound to get a little nervous when we get our of “comfort zone”.
So…. In Jesus’ Name, its going to be a blessing. Besides, The bible says that i can do all things in his name. I just have to let him do the talking for me, and i’ll be fine.
As for what i’m going to talk about, well, i’m trying to pray as much as i can about it, to make sure i’m on the right track. Mainly, i just want to tell the Youth that they are precious, and important to God. Sometimes, as youth, we don’t really believe in ourselves, and we might think we’re not too important, or too valuable, but that’s not true.
We are precious in his eyes. God has a place in his heart for all of us.
If you read this, please pray for me. I want to be a vessel that God can use.
Thanks!
