More from Will Willimon
A preacher enters a conversation that has been going on between God and God’s people. You contribute to that conversation with your sermon, and then you spend the rest of the week seeing where God takes the conversation from there.
We work for a living God who is constantly on the move and who is determined to win back this world.
One thing I learned from that was, I’m never again going to publish anything that I’m not willing to stand up for.
