This past Sunday was a very good day, the culmination of a very good week, but one that I'm very, very glad is over. I got to preach, which is always a very cool thing for me... Not saying I would want to do it all the time, but I really love the chances I get. I also did a wedding for a very neat young couple. I'm excited for them!
Since I hate for Sunday mornings to look like "the Corbett Show," I always try to schedule someone else to lead worship on days that I teach. My wife Tricia was the go-to-guy (err...girl) this week and backed by Lori Ritter (making her triumphant return after CANCER SURGERY!!!) and the world's most dangerous praise band, they totally knocked it out of the park.
A bit of a down crowd, no doubt somewhat due to the Fourth of July weekend stuff, (or maybe they heard who was speaking...) we had 240 people between the two services.
The topic was very real... we talked about revenge and the nature of the human heart to dwell on bitterness and the wrongs done to us. We saw Jesus reversing the "Law of Lamech." Read here and here.
God is good and several people talked to me about wanting to take the steps in their lives to forgive and not live in the story of Lamech.
A very cool day!

Drats! As I was leaning over the kitchen island last Sunday am, my body went forward and my back stayed behind...ouch! So, while I was sitting at home with ice on my back, EVERYONE BUT ME...I am NOT jealous, Mike...was listening to one of the most raved about sermons they have heard! Drats again! I did request a copy so I won't grow into a bitter olde "drats again person!" That said, I shall now stop pouting and raise a cup of coffee (with caramel, praline, and a little whipped cream...non fat of course) to you and your sermon. GOD is so awesome and we are so blessed.

...hey, even Nick heard it! I'm having another cup of coffee...non fat of course!
Thanks Deb... Welcome to the blog
Corbett , This Big Idea book you've given me to read what gives ? I started reading last week and have read alittle every day since. The Big idea is nothing new but just another forgotten piece of information in a information driven society. Sometimes we make things so much more difficult then they are"my self included". I completely enjoyed reading it and belive it will have an impact on me. And yes i belive your sermon on Sunday reflected your reading this book. Great job and keep it up.
