My uncle Hod was preaching at the Bethel church today so John, Casey, my parents, the boys, and I went. He is an awesome preacher!!! I have never heard him preach before because he doesn't live here, but I was so glad I had the chance.
He is a man that speaks with such passion. I know alot of men that can give awesome sermons, that you know that they truly are speaking the word of God, but when you talk to them you just can feel the pride coming from them. Like they just feel that they are all that and a bag of chips, so that kinda lowers your opinion of them. Hod is totally not like that. He has always been the nicest guy, one who ask how you are doing and you can tell that he really does want to know. Unfortunatly I don't get the talk to him much. This is the first time I have seen him in 2 years.
Anyway his sermon was on prayer and one thing that he said that really grabbed my attention was that Jesus was 100% man and 100% God at the same time and yet he still prayed. He who could make miracles happen and who created the world, still prayed. WOW!! If Jesus found that prayer was important in his own life, enough that he would go out by himself and pray for long periods of time, how important should it be in my life. That really humbled me!!!
I was so glad that John and I decided to miss our own church service to go and listen to Hod. Both of us came away with lots to think about.
