This week, I used a mindmap, which I have attached above. If you start with "1" and listen to the sermon, you can follow the logic of it. Some sermons afford the mind-map more than a manuscript, at least in my way of working (you may need to right click and choose 'Rotate Clockwise' to get it to show up correctly).

Last week, I went to Orlando, FL for the National Association of Congregational Christian Churches Annual Meeting. I was invited to preach the sermon linked here because it won the Best Sermon of the Year for 2012. The sermon had to be about Congregational History and reflect the values of the NACCC. I was honored to preach it there and again today for RCC.
Enjoy! We will return to the Lord's Prayer next Sunday.
