Thanks for this Marcus. Have been following your blog via RSS for a while, but haven't had time to comment and engage with the content you blog about until now.
My last sermon was on Rahab, entitled 'God Triumphs', showing how he triumphs in her heart (grace), triumphs over his enemies and triumphs over sin (biblical theology). I enjoyed listening to yours, thanks for posting.
Thanks Simon
A good friend of mine who has been preaching for 40 years told me on Sunday he had never heard a sermon on Rahab. And now you and I both preach on it in close succession! I like your threefold description of victory over hear, enemies and sin.
Do you have a position to go to in the Autumn yet? As and when you start you would be very welcome to come and enjoy our Living Leadership Pastoral Refreshment Conference, which you may well have come across. Hope fully we might cross paths there or somewhere else before too long
Yes, I am due to commence a ministry position in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, this Autumn. This will tie in with my MA degree at WEST, which I will do over 3 years part time, and should bump into you for the leadership module.
Thanks for the invite to the Living leadership event, will bear it in mind.
