Whether you know the story of the prodigal son or not – and I’m glad that there are other perspectives that suggest it’s probably more the story of the prodigal father – it is a gift to be able to express the word in a way that embeds itself in your heart. Sermons (where did we get that from again? Scripture? Which one? Preach I got, but sermon?) can be effective to an extent, but recite to me the best sermon you ever heard. Go on. Now lets talk about the songs you remember, maybe even the movies you love, the good times with your friends, etc. A lot easier to recount. Why is that?
Anyway, so having the gift to convey God’s Word n dramatic and dynamic fashion is a gift to be valued and celebrated. Being a huge admirer of the work of Keith Green, it is the ideal opportunity to celebrate what this brother did to make the story of redemption come across in evocative style.
For His Name’s Sake
