I think your intuitive approach is actually a blessing. You are excellent at what you do and part of this is because it seems to come out completely naturally. There is nothing predictable about your messages and teaching style other than at some point in time, you'll explain how it connects to the gospel. We are blessed to have a teaching pastor as capable as you. God has equipped you with the wonderful gift of teaching from His word. I'm glad that you recognize your reliance on God and that it is truly He who is doing the work. I'm also glad that our congregation is blessed with someone who teaches as effectively as you.

Now I know one He is my preacher. Another one is my son wow... After reading cj Meheney's Humility...We had a discussion..in our house...It was between my 15 year old son and myself...We talked about that little bit of time where i might be gone and waiting for him....Then we talked about true greatness of being a servant - something he should pursue....He asked what do you want your funeral to be like? I said I want the Gospel preached. Meaning "if you want to be with Mark or see him again you will believe as Mark did and workout your salvation with fear and trembling...." He then asked who should do it? Well Yancey of course.... Oh did you hear about Mark Driscoll he is headed to Jordan River and will baptize both his mother and father and son all at the same time...Amazing...Those people are about to build 800 churches with MarsHill name on it... This is so awesome…as recently 2002 I was afraid to come into a church or talk to some of those darned old christains…

Ever week I look foward to hearing the sermon you have prepared. You have a unique way of preaching that I have never heard before. You preach with conviction and everyone can see your passion and your love for Christ!!! You are one of God's many tools and I thank him for allowing me to hear his word through you. Whatever you do to prepare for teaching I hope you don't change a thing... even if it frustrates you. If it isn’t broke then don’t try and fix it.
