Have you ever wanted to preach? Here’s your chance…
When I was in high school, one of my youth pastors would play a game with us to test our preaching skills. He’d point to a random object and then tell us to write a sermon on the spot, doing our best to use that item as our metaphor.
For example, if we were sitting a table in a restaurant he’d point to a salt shaker and say “Go”. At that point, one of us would start a three minute incoherent rambling about how Jesus said we’re the salt of the earth but sometimes you have to be shaken up a bit to realize what you’re supposed to be doing with your life.
Ouch. I know.
But there you have it. That’s exactly how preachers do it. That’s the essence of every sermon you’ve heard in your life.
Now it’s your turn. We’re gonna throw down right here, right now. This is a creative exercise that will put your exegetical prowess to the test.
Your mission it to take a look at the photo below and come up with a mini-sermon using roughly 300 words or less. It’s kind of like a caption contest, but with a cheesy life application. You can post your “sermon” in the comment section below.
Ready. Set. Go.
