Yes, here it is. A real post on my blog that will have actual meaning!
I'm assuming you all remember Mr. Kooy, who now is the youth leader/pastor at my church. This morning he preached the sermon, and I got something out of it, which I am going to share. It's an activity guys, be excited! This is what he said to us (in a nutshell)
Think to yourself: What are ten particular sins that I've committed this past week? (Try and remember some...because we all sin)
Hard, isn't it? At least, I found it hard. It's supposed to be difficult.
Then, think of something somebody did to you that offended you, or something that you'd consider a sin. Something like that.
That doesn't take long, does it?
And there's the point of the sermon. Or one of them. We're really good at pointing out other peoples' faults, but we can't pinpoint our own. It's basically the lesson in the Bible of removing the plank from your own eye before you start thinking about removing the speck from someone else's.

Not bad, not bad. Go mr kooy. Did he go to seminary school or did he just randomly get the job?
i actually don't even know. But I get more out of his sermons than I've gotten out of my all my pastor's sermons combined. That sounds bad, I know.
but you and i both know it's true
sounds like a good sermon. i was their once when he read one someone else wrote, but he did really well. but back to the subject, sadly enough, i was able to point out ten sins. but also other peoples too. guess i just have a lot of planks or something.
nice, looks like a good sermon! mr. kooy sounds like an awesome youth pastor
yea, i have the same thing, we have 3 pastors now, but i get so much out of my youth pastor's sermons... and the others,... mhm. it does sound horrible, but its so true.
he did that when i was there. needless to say, i'm not sure it was the best thing.
hey. sounds cool... something to definately think about. i definately get a lot more from my youth pastor at youth than i do at church... most of the time. i think it's because it's directed to youth specifically. it makes all the difference
i find that sometimes people's sermons are just directed for different audiences... it makes sense, otherwise everybody would probably attend one massive church...
