My gals in the lobby after I finished preaching
Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
– Jeremiah 20:9, KJV
Tired.
But so grateful.
Grateful and honored to have the opportunity to share on abandonment, divorce, and remarriage at an evangelical church.
It was a homecoming of sorts today for me. I preached at both morning services at the church I called home for a bit under a year or so. It was nice seeing familiar faces of my church family.
I am excited to finally start sharing the message from the pulpit I share here on the blog. It is good for faithful spouses to be seen and Biblical misconceptions to be corrected. My hope is this is just the start of something wonderful. A change in how divorcees are viewed and treated in evangelical churches.
Stay tuned for the linked audio from the sermon…
-DM out!
Congrats Rev. David! I know this is big for you. I am amazed to see how God has turned evil into good in your life. It’s truly encouraging to see real redemption at work. God has me in a holding pattern right now and is working out some kinks in my heart. Your story is proof to me that this is only temporary. I already know the word so much better because of my tragedy. But seeing how he has turn your sorrow into joy gives me solace and something to look forward to. I can only pray that I too will be able to speak God’s comfort and wisdom to a betrayed spouse in the future.
I am joyous to see that He is using you mightily! Keep rocking that pulpit! Can’t wait to hear the audio.
