Thank You! Thank you very much for your willingness to share a communion and/or offering meditation during our worship services at BCC! These meditations are a vital part of our worship together. The thoughts you present help us to focus our hearts and minds on the activity we're about to particiapte in (communion and offering). A great meditation can touch a heart deeply and be just what a person needed to heear that day--even more that the morning sermon! So, again, thank you, and I hope the links ON THE FAR RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PAGE will help you prepare and share great meditations that will exalt Christ and challenge the church! office@beechwoodchristian.org |
Helpful tips for delievering great meditations. Here are some "best practice" steps I follow each time I preach. I think they will also help you deliver a great meditation! 1. Prepare If you will take a little time in advance to research and find/write (the links on this page shoudl help a lot!) then you will be able to step up to the microphone with much more confidence and peace. Once you have your meditation thoughts on paper---be sure to read them over on three separate occaions (prefeably 6 or more hours apart) leading up to your presentation. This may sound like over-kill, but it actually takes very little effort--just read them over on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Doing this will greatly help you to solidify the thoughts in your mind. 2. Pray It may sound like a no-brainer suggestion, but the fact is we all tend to try to handle things in our own strength too often. Each tme you go over your meditation--pray first--asking God's peace and blessing to be with you. 3. Focus on God As you step up to the mic--know that you have prepared and you have prayed. Now--just enjoy this opportunity to WORSHIP GOD with your meditation. Don't focus on needing to impress...or actually--don't focus on others at all, but simply on lifting up God through the great thought you've been meditating on the past couple of days. I hope these thoughts help you! Don't hesitate to email me at pastorbrad@aol.com if you have any questions. Blessings, Pastor Brad. |
