In this morning’s service at Hathern Baptist Church, I was speaking on the subject of service, a service I was glad offer. You can hear my talk on Soundcloud, including some musings on words that are very specific and words (like service) that are overloaded with different meanings:

You can definitely hear my “sarf London” accent coming out in this and, although I thought I was speaking slowly, I could have put the brakes on a bit more. On the other hand, I spoke to several people afterwards who found it had said something they needed to hear. The opportunity to preach isn’t about covering myself with glory but giving people something which will help them to be more like Jesus.
