Pulpit

I get a little nervous anytime I have the opportunity to speak in front of the church. I use to get nervous because I was afraid I was going to mess up or forget something I had written down. Now, I get nervous for what God is going to reveal to me in the text. The past few times I have spoken, I have gone in with some sort of preconception of what that specific scripture meant, and by the time I have finished praying and studying, God has torn down my preconceptions and said, "No, no, here's what I'm really telling you to do." So, broken and humbled, I pick back up the pieces and begin to look at scripture through the new lens He gave me-so refreshing. I'll finish with a question. What are the top 5 things you guys want to hear about from the pulpit? I would give you mine, but I don't want to be leading your answers.
