The start of Micah is pretty much doom and gloom. It is a glorious thing to behold the righteous judgment of God on disobedient humankind. Consequently I'd love to preach my first sermon on the judgment of God dressed in some manner of emo/gothic garb. I remember once at uni church the four of us preaching on Lamentations decided to all wear black for the four week series.
Sarah tells me gothic dress would be distracting from the word of God. I like to think it's because she doesn't want me to be seen wearing skinny leg jeans in public.
hahaha.... yeah I remember wearing black!
ReplyDeleteFull emo might be a bit much, maybe dress as the grim reaper ringing a bell yelling out verses on judgment from Micah??
Just to be sure run it past Sarah and see what she thinks but I"m confident she will go for it!
I remember your introduction to the first sermon well, Dave. Images of war played on the projector with some haunting U2 song in the background. Really set the scene.
