I'm preaching tomorrow for the first time.

Subject: I'm preaching tomorrow for the first time. Sat Jul 24, 2010 5:47 am

Tomorrow I'm being given the privilege to give the sermon at my church. It's the first time I've ever given a sermon, and quite some time since I've spoken at all in front of my church.

Prayers for confidence and elocution would be appreciated.

Good luck man!

I'd heard that public speaking is the number one fear in the US. Even passes up death. I'm not sure how true that is though, but.....

I spoke in front of 40 people one time, for an hour+.
But it wasn't for church. ^_^

Well, I was nervous as all hell, but the feedback was all very positive. A lot of the people at my church foudn it very inspirational. While I didn't think it wa that great, I know I can be overly critical of my own work.

You're not the only one who's critical of themselves!

Great job! When are you doing it again?
