Last week I began a four week teaching series at Clear Creek Community Church (www.clearcreek.org) at their midweek series called "The Gathering". It is a great church led by great guys. I had so much fun last week. These people came ready to worship and learn.
Why is it when you teach in another enviroment you feel a freedom that you don't feel normally at your own church? Is it because they don't know me or that I'm trying to impress them? Maybe since they don't know me, they don't see all my inconsistancies like my church does.
Is it that these believers come ready on Wednesday night to worship and learn but Sunday morning is hard because of the heavy weekend and it's a mix of believers and unbelievers.
The crazy thing is that Tim and our worship band was there. They thought I spoke different that I normally do on Sunday. Tim said there seemed to be more freedom. This isn't the first time I have had this happen.
I'm just trying to figure it out. Sorry for the rambling.

I've noticed this before when you've spoken somewhere else, but that was a couple years ago. The last two weeks at CCCC were different. You did preach a little different, but only slightly, and only in matters of delivery. It was a bit more polished, likely because you're rehashing a series you've done at CB. I wouldn't sweat it all. For the most part the preaching felt like Sunday morning at home. The main thing I sensed was shock at Jesus and the gospel being strongly proclaimed. I think the difference was more with the people than the preacher. JMO
