Is there a support group for "over-preachers" of passages?
Last year, at Venice Beach Fellowship, we did a series on Romans. I loved it! For myself, I felt like I discovered a whole new depth of the super-awesome-goodness in this amazing letter. I was also super excited to tag along with NT Wright as a Theological Trail Guide in the wild terrain of Pauline theology.
BUT! The problem was that Romans has 16 chapters and it took me A YEAR to get through it! I used Romans at Christmas, Romans at Easter, I slept, ate, and breathed Romans (and forced everyone else to do the same). And now... I am looking down the barrel of another series on the book of Acts - a book that has 28 CHAPTERS!!! I'm about to preach a fourth sermon on Sunday and I haven't even got to the second chapter! And more than that, I am experiencing this ardent desire to take four weeks on Pentecost...
My name is Rich, and I am an over-preacher.
