Why Listen to Preaching Part II

Preach it!…because I’ll be doing it!

I’ll be preaching this coming Sunday (Sept. 25) at my church, Liberti PCA in center city Philly. I’ll be doing both services, morning and afternoon. Text will be Matthew 5:17-26…and the most ironic part is that this week I’m translating Matthew 5 & 6 for my Gospels class! Guess I’ll be all set for the exegetical work, anyway.

I’d greatly appreciate the prayers of all my readers, that I might handle God’s Word and his people with the respect they both deserve.

    To any in the area capable: I will pay CASH MONEY for a recording of this, preferably via MP3. [I mean, not tons, but ... $10 seems right.]

  2. Mark Traphagen Says:

    I have no idea if Liberti will record this or not.

    If they do, I may have to top your offer to destroy it!

    No, seriously, if it is recorded, I’ll be glad to see about getting you a copy, Geof.

    …i would love to see it downloadable off this page…

    You’re thinking what I’m thinking, Tim. :)

    I certainly hope it goes well. Just don’t start talking about Lot going to Sodom . . .

  6. Mark Traphagen Says:

    Drawing that out of Matthew 5:17-26 would be quite midrashic, would it not Jason?

    mark, i would like to hear you preach. i’ve got too many commitments this Sunday to make it work, but keep us posted on future engagements!

  8. Mark Traphagen Says:

    Well, Christiana, let’s see first if liberti ever invites me back after this time!

    I will be spouting my heresy at both services, 10:30 a.m. at the Mennonite High School in Fairmount, and 4:00 p.m. at the Romanian Orthodox Church in Northern Liberties. Directions are on the liberit web site for anyone who would love to see a seminary student crash and burn.

    Man, Mark … your penchant for self-flagellation rivals my own. [Is your sense of ego as overblown, and you're using this as a way to assail it?]

  10. Rachel Says:

    Mark, you will do GREAT! Mike and I are planning to come to one of the services.

  11. Mark Traphagen Says:

    Geof….bingo!

    And Rachel…rats! Now I have to scrap that illustration about “those funny new neighbors that just moved in next to us” :lol:
