Chris Seay and Nancy Beach Musings from Story 2009

I didn’t take many notes on these two, because there was so much of their story wrapped up in what they had to say, but these thoughts are what I needed to take away.

Musings from Chris Seay

We are shaped by the stories of our ancestors.  A portion of who we are is the way that it is because they were the way that they were.

Our sermons need to be less about five things to do or three points. They need to tell a story, The Story, in such a way that people are driven to the scriptures in order to discover for themselves what it means.

Musings from Nancy Beach

The Gospel is three parts: part tragedy, part comedy, and part fairy tale. The Tragedy is that man is a sinner and wicked. The Comedy is that Jesus saves us anyway. The Fairy Tale is that it’s too good to NOT be true.
