One of the powerful aspects of my current situation is the opportunity to engage with the bible in living dynamics, from Dwelling in the Word (see here for an idea, although the Opawa experience is a little different form this) to communal lectio divino, have a look at this post.
Concepts I will most definitely want to foster and engage with in the future.
The Prodigals have an interesting post on interacting with bible text too, see here.
And where is all this coming from, Preaching belongs to the community!
It has been pointed out to me that one of my strengths is communicating the "Lived Experience" both of life in general and of matters of faith more specifically (a two way process). Perhaps this is why I feel the above are essential for the future of the church and in particular as we who profess the Christian faith are the bibles the world is reading.
