Hi everyone:
When you have a chance, I would appreciate any feedback/constructive criticism for Sunday's message.
Thank you Pastor Lee
I must give Pastor Lee credit for organizing the main points of my sermon for me:
1. God is good.
2. His Word is truth.
3. He knows what is best for our lives.
Missed Points
Pastor Lee also said to conclude with, "So, His Word is the only thing we can put our confidence in." Which I didn't mention.
Another thing I didn't cover was: "What does it mean to follow God?"
I hope the kids don't get the wrong idea that following God means being legalistic.
Group Discussion
My group was Eric, Scott, Gloria, and Scarlet. I took turns asking them if they believe that (1) God is good, (2) His Word is Truth, and (3) He knows what is best for our lives.
(1) Everyone responded that they do believe that God is good... although Eric seemed a little shaky (in a sarcastic way).
(2) None of my group has really established a strong connection with God's Word in their daily life. I told them it is really important to deepen their relationship with God, and for stability.
(3) Everyone agreed...
(Discussion) Scott said that it's hard to trust him in times of temptation (being general), Gloria is having difficulty trusting God as she waits to get her driver's license (but would like to trust God), Eric had no comment, and Scarlet is scared about the legal status of her family in America... We ended by praying for one another.
Thanks for everything. Praise the Lord!

Hi, Daniel
It was a quite an experience for me yesterday.
You took a leap of faith when you took on Psalm 119 as the sermon
text. I could tell that you have a strong confidence in power of God's
word.
You have explained well about Psalm 119; how it was arranged by Hebrew
alphabet.
You also made it easy for everyone to follow lengthy text. And it was
a wonderful idea to have a volunteer read each section. I think it
helped all us to be engaged during the reading.
You had made your three points simple, clear, and, yet powerful.
Daniel, I have noticed that you have been wrestled with God's truth as
you were preparing for the sermon. I think this process helps us to
move forward and be more clear about what God has to say to us. Thus,
you ought to do this more often . . . ( : - )
Lastly, I would like to share one of my struggles that I always go
through as I prepare for the sermon.
APPLICATION - have answer for "Then what?" and "Yes But How?"
Daniel, you have talked about very important foundation for our life.
Thank you for your message.

Dear Daniel,
When you said that you were not ready to give the sermon, I knew that you were trusting God to speak through you. I prayed that for you, too Not only that, but I believe that our prayers were answered. Didn't even have a doubt in my mind. =D
Nonetheless, I am so glad that you earnestly sought after God into the late hours of the night! That's dedication. Be encouraged. I think that your message to the students was all encompassing. It is such a good time to go over the essence of our lives as God's own beloved.
As for criticism, I could not say anything. I truly think that you chose a very effective order of service, even if it was slightly uncommon for us. I was reminded of the book of common prayer, which is used in the episcopal church. I think they tend to stay a little closer to the Catholic traditions than evangelicals, in that they recite various prayers and doctrines during services. I loved being involved in that way during Sunday's service. Liturgy is a very beautiful way to respond during services.
Group Discussion
Our group members were: Connie, Michelle, Ben, Chris, and Justin.
Connie shared that she desired to have the same type of zeal that David had for God. Another thing she said was that she'd like to remember God's little blessings all around her. She sensed that she needed more time praising him in this way.
Michelle expressed some doubt as to whether she truly and faithfully believed that God was involved in her life. She and I were able to talk about this more that evening.
Ben expressed that his Christian life had been pretty much established since his childhood. I was then able to challenge him with the fact that he will need to come to a personal understanding of God's goodness. I told him at that point that he would have to face the dilemma of truly and experientially believing that God is goodness. It's one thing to believe that through default so i really wanted to challenge him.
Chris shared that he wished he could have a relationship with God like David, too, but he was unsure of how that would happen. Chris also mentioned that he'd like to start praying to God during his day, and ask him for strength for daily living.
Justin responded by saying that God was indeed true, but that he wasn't true to God. He knew that God's love was there for him, but that he was not really able to give it back. Noh MJN then suggested that he learn the Bible through spiritual guides who had the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Scriptures. I then invited him to Friday Biblestudy. He was pleased. For application, Justin said that he would like to praise God in the good times and during the bad times.
Please pray that Justin will find true friendship and love in God.
Sincerely,
Susie
