Since coming to Melbourne I’m preaching a lot more. Just over half the Sundays in the year...

Dream it, Achieve it

It used to think being an itinerant speaker would be an awesome job. I think I even prayed a few...

Hearing Stories

by Tom | Oct 8, 2012 | Christianess, Church, Preaching | 1 |

From Thursday to Sunday I was away on a (very small) mission trip with my youth group (which I may blog about later, but knowing my blogging habits, it won’t happen). Yesterday I was asked to preach at the local baptist...

Worth the Quibble

by Tom | Aug 18, 2012 | Bible, Church, Preaching, Social Justice, Youth Ministry | 1 |

I heard a preacher tonight at a youth event. He preached almost all story and no Bible. Almost all entertainment and no meat. Yet he’s done more in his ministry to the poor through the church that he leads than many of the...

Sailing Gold

by Tom | Aug 11, 2012 | Preaching, Sport | 2 |

I don’t want to boast or anything but I’m not sure it’s a coincidence that I started speaking on a sailing camp in 2009 and this year we have a freaking gold rush in sailing. Sowing and reaping and all that. I...

Speaking of Speaking

I’m on camp again. Been here since Sunday. I’m speaking to about 70 year 7 and 8s. We’re looking at people Jesus met. It’s a bunch of talks that I gave in December at another camp. Right now I’m...

Truth

by Tom | Mar 21, 2012 | Christianess, Ethics, Preaching | 0 |

This morning on my way to work I listened to the lastest episode of This American Life. It was a retraction of a story they did a few months ago which was an excerpt from a play about Apple. The guy who had written the play,...

by Tom | Mar 18, 2012 | Bible, Christianess, Church, Preaching | 0 |

Tonight I preached on Revelation 13-14:5. It’s the passage all about The Beasts and the...

Noah Got Nude

by Tom | Mar 14, 2012 | Bible, Christianess, Preaching, Work | 0 |

Well I finished day two of nude Noah. I basically did the same talk I did here, but I added a bit about how Jesus is a better Noah. When Noah emerged from the ark nothing changed. When Jesus emerged from the tomb, everything...

Nude Noah

by Tom | Mar 12, 2012 | Bible, Preaching, Work | 0 |

Tomorrow I’m speaking at a school to year 9 and 10 on the passage where Noah get’s drunk and falls asleep naked. If the students don’t laugh, this one’s gonna be awkward.
