While I was at the preaching of preparing for next Sunday and after examples and illustrations to ponder about, I will of course always the Events through the head, which dominated the news this week (here in Switzerland). I wonder how many times the sound down on this Sunday, the words "Federal", "Blocher" and "deselection" of Swiss pulpits. Somehow, this event calls it, that people talk about it. If the done but also from the pulpit?
I wonder whether we should use current political events in the sermon as examples. After all, the listeners could interpret these events quite differently. What is a part of the Swiss a reason to cheer, others filled with anger and disappointment. Very different emotions are at play. This example can illustrate so really, explain what I want?
As for me, I would resist the temptation this Sunday. But it would be interested to know what the current and moving event must serve all. Let me know.
