Church Membership Matters – 1 John 2 (sermon outline)

I got another shot to preach this Sunday morning since my pastor was out of town.  It was one of those Sundays where I thought I did just an average job, but our very gracious church was very encouraging about it.  But its definitely not about my performance, encouragement, or rating how I did…its all about how God uses His preached Word.  I would much rather preach a pitiful sermon where I look stupid and God use it in huge ways than me “do my best” and there be very little fruit.  Anyways, it was a huge honor to communicate God’s Word to His people this Sunday, and my prayer is that He will continue to use it in the lives of our people in the days to come!
