I make it a habit to listen to a variety of great preachers, but remain convinced that the most important preachers to me are the ones who preach at King&#8217;s Church Leicester on Sunday mornings and care deeply for them.  I praise the time and effort they put into preparing and preaching at Church, and I love it when they show concern for their own preaching.  When I remember (which to my shame isn&#8217;t very often), I pray for the guys who preach at King&#8217;s Church, and I thank God for every message they bring, whether it was delivered skillfully or not, whether I agreed with it completely or not, whether it moved me or not.<\/p>\n<p>I am going to attempt to be disciplined and write a series of blog posts on preaching.  There are a few different topics I want to cover, and I&#8217;m hoping to condense my thoughts on each of them into a few short paragraphs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a long time I have been interested in preaching, way back when I was a teenager in Nottingham my youth leader gave me the opportunity to preach a few times at my Church, and since having that door opened &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/?p=193\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[67],"class_list":["post-193","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-preaching"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=193"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":397,"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193\/revisions\/397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=193"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=193"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peteandemma.co.uk\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=193"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
