Sean Biddle sean biddle no Sean Biddle sean@seanbiddle.com message 5.29.11 http://seanbiddle.com/2011/05/message-5-29-11/ http://seanbiddle.com/2011/05/message-5-29-11/#comments Mon, 30 May 2011 19:11:57 +0000 Sean http://seanbiddle.com/?p=433 It’s been a busy but refreshing last couple of weeks.  Last weekend, I had the opportunity to lead worship at our church.  This weekend, I had the opportunity to preach…to adults.  If you would have asked me a year ago if I’d be preaching to adults…I would have said, “I don’t even know if I want to go back into ministry.”

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been out of “professional” ministry for close to a year to the date.  I find myself questioning a lot of things.  Is it ironic that after six years going full-throttle in ministry that I’ve spent this last year (my seventh year) unemployed and finding rest and recovery in acts of pure service to different churches?  Maybe it’s a sabbatical or jubilee that God has provided?  I understand that it’s possible I’m reading into everything.  But it’s also possible that God, in His sovereignty, could be preparing me for something.  I’m not sure what God has in store.  Only time will tell.  I trust that God will continue providing clarity.

Below is my message from the weekend.  It was for a series called, “Life Happens.”  We’re going through the book of Philippians.  My main text was Philippians 4:4-7.  Also, I heavily used the movie, Stranger Than Fiction as an illustration.

They are doing a series on “loving God’s creation” for the month of June. Also, they’re VBS-like family event called, Family Jam, is themed around the same thought of “loving God’s creation”. They’ll be playing this song every Sunday morning for the children and every night at Family Jam. Hope you enjoy this bluesy rendition about loving God’s creation.

It’s my response to the events that have happened over the past couple of weeks. This is a very simple song as you’ll quickly figure out. I’m relying heavily on its dynamics to bring the song to full fruition. I’m thinking about adding in some strings and some Rhodes. Leave a comment and let me know what you think and any suggestions you might have.
