A Sacred Sermon
And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. (Revelation 12:11)
Have you heard a sermon that was extremely encouraging and exactly what you needed at that moment? Think about how amazing it was, that God gave you a word right when you needed it. I am sure it was an unforgettable experience. What if God is calling you to share a word or a sermon with someone to meet them where they are and encourage them with what they need?
It can be intimidating to be the one to deliver the message rather than just receiving it. God does an amazing work when we are willing to share our experiences with others to help them along the same paths we have walked. We must not shy away from the opportunity to share when we have the chance to do so.
Most of us think that a sermon must have at least three points and a poem, or an illustration that grabs our hearts. Sometimes, a sermon only needs one point. With many of us, one point is about all we can handle. It doesn’t have to be a fancy, well-rehearsed sermon. It doesn’t need to sound like a lecture from a seminary class. All it has to be is sitting across from a brother or sister in Christ and talking about how God has proven Himself faithful in your life.
More than likely, God will lead you to preach a sacred sermon to someone who is going through circumstances similar to those you have experienced. If you sense God calling you to share a word with someone, obey His call and follow His lead. Will you share your story?

This hit home with me today. Thank you.
I had an opportunity to share with a brother who was being tried and tested through a situation. It was an opportunity to be honest and share how the Lord has been Faithful to deliver me from similar circumstances.
We must choose to be humble and allow the Lord to lead us in this as in all other things. Also, being willing to take the time to listen and understand the moment and the opportunity is an important sign of our willingness to help others and share how the Lord has delivered us as well.
Praise be to the Lord!
Amen! Hallelujah!
I have had times where I would be talking to someone and they would find that it was profound. I know those words came from God at that time. I did lead a Bible study recently and know those words came from God It was a reminder for us to always depend on God for His leading in our lives ðŸ™
So how many points should a sermon have? Three points? Seven points? It should always have at least one point. Otherwise, it is pointless! Just saying!
