A
Note from Pastor Steve
As
one of those technophobes who has been dragged kicking and screaming into
the computer age, I have been hesitant to place sermons on our Web page.
Sermons are to be heard and experienced, not read. Sermons always
have a context — that context being the shared life of a congregation,
the pastoral relationships that have developed, and the overall life of
the city in which the church dwells. Thus, I write sermons to be preached
and heard, and not read, for it is when they are preached and heard that
they (hopefully) come alive. When reading a sermon, one misses inflections,
gestures, voice modulations and so much more that make a sermon a sermon.
That
said, I know that I have been shaped by reading sermons, thus I offer
these to you. As my good friend and former interim here at Idlewild, Roland
Perdue, said, "Read these at your own peril, and imagine how much
better it is to be here and hear."
--Stephen
R. Montgomery
