Poetry Preach & Prose

Introduction

Snippits from a message by Eric Hansen. A poem based on that message by Dave Fairchild. For the full message: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJAZP_FeBaE

The occasional sermon by pastor Fred by request of a friend. This is the story of a transitional time for King David. From slaying giants to defeating his tens of thousands. He is now being hunted and Nabal is the last straw. 

Preached in Harper one Sabbath. 

First Sermon in Wichita

By Jenna Gibson

This is the introduction to the sermon I will be preaching this Sabbath.

My son is studying about Hellen Keller this week.

She says another soul touched the darkness of her mind.

You don’t have to have a physical impediment to relate to that.

Listen below as we talk about the crusade against darkness.

What do you get when you combine Convocation and Valentines day?

Sometimes adversity has more to say to us than inconvenience. God may be opening a door for you or someone to walk through. 

Pastor Mike is preaching this Sabbath from Exodus 36:1-7 and the title of the message is “What could God accomplish through us if every member were debt free?” So I began to imagine. To owe no one, avoid no one, fear no one, what a feeling! In this episode, I explore the concept of a phrase I  call “debt to self.” It is a condition that makes debt collectors blush and can only be remedied in Christ, “death to self.”

I love cutting edge apps and innovative software. Right now I am memorizing Ephesians 3:16 through the best app I’ve seen within this category. It’s called Verses. For the class I teach at Midland I enjoy using classtools.net, Kahoots, Prezi’s, Pollseverywhere, Expalineverything. For podcasting I joined the beta tester group for a new software called Descript. You record your audio and it transcribes automatically and associates the text with the audio clip. That means that if I delete a word in the document, it deletes the audio in the clip. I find myself giving credence to upcoming entrepreneurial ingenuity by subscribing to 7 day trials and cancelling before I get charged. In this story I am found standing near the bananas at Walmart when something goes wrong and I ended up accidentally making a financial blunder that would have costed me dinner that night. Here is the rest of the story.

What I learned was that if I did not have a back up plan, I would have had to leave my grocery cart behind. I also learned that small decisions can have large implications. I am excited for the journey to financial peace so that my wife and I can continue to learn pay off debt, budget, save money, and give generously.

Elon Musk is inventing a piece of technology that can be inserted in the brain to do some pretty cool stuff. I relate that in this episode to creativity now and forever.

Siri gives us her definition of what culture is. There is alot of truth in what she says. Listen to how students at Midland Academy begin the steps to changing their culture.
