Well, I finally preached in Miller Chapel. I remember when I first got to Princeton three years ago, I thought it was such a huge deal. Now that I've done it, I know that it is a unique setting, and it is just another place to proclaim God's word. Also, in the middle of it, I had this conversation with myself, "Wait. Am I really up here right now? Yes? This is fun."
I am so grateful to have had friends leading worship with me, and to look out in the congregation and see the faces of people I know and love so deeply, people who embody Psalm 133 to me. I felt God's presence throughout the service, and am grateful.
I am glad to be done with it! Wore my new suit, new tie, new shoes...and I was so sweaty by the end. Man. If you would like to see an order of service, click here
. If you would like to read my sermon, how about clicking here
? If you would like to listen to the whole service, get it here! Parts of it are quieter than others...but keep listening!
How good and pleasant it is when sisters and brothers live together in unity!
Happy for you bro - sorry I wasn't there to check it out - but I'm guessing it was great! And very pastoral.

Wow! Wish I could have been there, too! But, in reading your sermon, I could hear your voice and intonation, and feel God speaking through you! A job well done to the glory of our Lord! Love you!
