I preached this at our church Sunday night. It isn’t original material, and some of it I have talked about in previous posts. Anyways, enjoy, and comment if you like.
*Note: I preached this to several older church members. So I was careful.

I don’t even know where to begin. There is a lot going on in my head right now. Lately I have been really thinking through what it means to be a Christian in today’s world. As I look at the average American church and the culture of today, I am growing more and more dissatisfied. I recently began building a youth ministry in the heart of a city that is 50% college age and younger. But we aren’t attracting anyone from that age group to our church. Being in this community has caused me to ask some really hard questions about what I think youth ministry and ministry in general is and should be.

When I moved to Brentwood to be a part of Innerface, a generous family in our church opened up their home to me. It was a new transition for me, being out on my own as it were. I had to adjust, as did the family. Dinner was at a certain time, and if I missed that time for whatever reason, I was on my own. I was used to doing laundry whenever I needed to, and now I had to squeeze it in when no one was home or try and get my clothes in before someone else in the house did. The bathroom that I use is the public house bathroom, so I have to keep it “user friendly” in case of visitors. I heard conversations that visitors didn’t hear.
