Today is Mothering Sunday in the UK. I am preaching. One interesting thing has been the very different helpful suggestions I have had. Firstly some have suggested that I simply speak about motherhood or the family, but one of my friends said ‘Thats lame’ and was very clear that was not what he was expecting.
It can be helpful to begin your preach from where people are at in terms of their thinking that day. So, since today is Mothers day and later this week is the Passion, perhaps I can keep both happy by talking about the cross from Mary’s point of view.
So I plan to speak from Luke 2:22 and Ps 22. I don’t feel well prepared, this hasnt been one of my better weaks. So if you get a chance to read this before about 11-30am GMT then please send up a prayer- I could use Gods help even more than usual.
