Today, we look at verses nine and ten of the Psalm.

“If I take the wings of the morning and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me fast.” (Psalm 139:9-10)Notes here: https://www.malcolmcox.org/you-are-a-wonder-psalm-139-series-part-11-malcolm-cox-quiet-time-coaching-episode-545/

Next time, we will continue our exploration of Psalm 139.

I am planning a spiritual experience day based on Psalm 139 in the spring of 2025. If you'd be interested, please drop me a line: [email protected].

Do you like watching interviews? They are a staple of television and all online media. We are endlessly fascinated by the lives and opinions of other people. Have you used this format in a church service? I did so recently for the first time in Watford. We had [Dr Jennifer Konzen](https://www.theartofintimatemarriage.com/dr-jennifer-konzen) in town, and I interviewed her in our traditional 'sermon' slot. 

Here is the link: https://fb.watch/vFNI6ceZUU/. The interview starts at the 42-minute mark. 

We received positive feedback and requests for more or the same. Let me share some lessons I learned.

This is part three of the series helping us to learn how to learn from other preachers. We've had a look at the sermon by a friend of mine called Bruce so that we can do the following:

1. We will be able to imitate his good practices.
2. We will learn how to review a sermon to spot what is done well

In part one, I introduced the sermon and what we were trying to achieve and how. If you've not watched that one, please pause this and view that first.  In part three this week, I will be sharing some of my own observations and responding to any that you have sent in.

Last Sunday, my very good friend Bruce Miller travelled up to Watford to preach for us. I was so encouraged by his lesson that I thought we would take two Teaching Tips to explore what he did well. There are two reasons for doing this.

1. We will be able to imitate his good practices.
2. We will learn how to review a sermon to spot what is done well

In part one, I will introduce the sermon, what we are trying to achieve and how. In part two next week, I will share some of my observations and respond to any you have sent in.

How do these thoughts make you feel about coming to worship on a Sunday? How does it help you in your worship? Will you think differently about anything? Will you behave differently in worship? Will you prepare differently before coming on Sunday?
