20 sermons on the woman at the well

 I made a flippant comment that you could get 20 sermons out of the woman at the well. Flip because horrified. Because the OP (opening post) was 'what other points do I need to round out my sermon'.

And I'm like,... for real?

Ok, so I'm not a pastor. I'm not at all theologically trained. I've not even read a lot of theology. I did one 4 week training course on sermon writing because I was curious. (Yeah. I know. It's just one of those odd things you do. Well I do. When I'm curious.)

But. I've thought about it a little. I got questions. I've listened a bit. I've also been president of two different speech making clubs (of that brand that you know which I don't want to write cos trademark and all that). 

Sermons are not speeches. I wish more speakers from the pulpit would reflect more deeply on that. But that's not really the issue here.

FAR OUT MAN THAT IS LIKE THE MOST TENDER AND BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF WITNESS OF WHAT JESUS IS LIKE. AND YOU ARE DELIVERING A 'sermon' TO GOD'S CHOSEN PEOPLE.

So this post... is mostly a reminder to myself... to *DO IT*. Write 20 sermons on the woman at the well :D  Given I have no people so it will not technically be a sermon this is for pretend. I figure it will be a good exercise for me to a) write and communicate, b) get the communication but out of me c) learn the passage better (like, properly prep it), and d) just... straight out reflect on what Jesus is like :)

Also I haven't used this blog much. And it maybe better than trawling twitter.
