Water’s Edge Week in Review: Week #1, November 4, 2008
I’m stealing an idea from Josh Griffin at morethandodgeball.com. Here’s a brief rundown of what went down last week at Water’s Edge. I always find Josh’s interesting. Maybe you’ll find ours the same:
Weekend Teaching Series: Write them On My Heart (A series on the 10 Commandments)
Message Title: Word Four: You will pay careful attention to the Sabbath
Sermon in a Sentence: God instituted the idea of a Sabbath rest to challenge the way we understand our place in the world.
Text(s): Deuteronomy 5:12-15
Weekend Scale of Difficulty: 5of 10, The message pretty much wrote itself, and the music wasn’t a challenge, but there were multiple video clips to challenge the tech crew.
Message Summary: We flipped the service again this week. Sermon first, music afterward. Began by using the Highway Video’s Identity video to ask the question “Where do you find your identity?” Then we talked about how we see ourselves. Used several “About Me” sections from students’ facebook pages to look at the words we use to describe ourselves. From there we transitioned into the categories the world uses to identify us. Here we played a clip from Baraka (a great movie you’ve probably never heard of) to provide visuals while I spoke from the back of the room.
