I was a bit nervous having not preached publicly for a while
but was excited and felt very privileged to have the opportunity
to share Jesus to a room full of Aussie kids. The Youth Street
Leader had asked if I would share a 15 or 20 minute message on 'freedom'
and include some movie clips to help illustrate the theme. I prayed on it
and considered what clips would be appropriate, settling on, of course, a speech
by William Wallace (Mel Gibson) in 'Brave Heart', a scene from 'The Fellowship
of the Ring', and a humorous clip from 'Chicken Run'. I broke the message into
three parts explaining three aspects of freedom,Physical freedom (body), Mental freedom (soul),
and spiritual freedom (spirit) and included throughout Paul and Silas'
Experience in Philipi. What a hoot! God brought nearly a hundred souls to listen
and kept them focused and tracking the entire time. We began with the shout, "Freedom!" and ended with a prayer of repentance and salvation and another "Freedom!" to complete a really
amazing night. What a blessing to be involved in God's plan in reaching the youth of this
Country, there's no better place to be than in the center of His will!
