Craddock on Preaching II

Just watched the third tape in the Fred Craddock series; this one is called "Arriving at a Message." The fascinating part was watching him work through the text (John 19:31-37, surely a text that is seldom preached; it is not in the Lectionary) and ask himself questions about it. He actually arrived at not one, but three possible messages. He chose one ("don't try to do all three") and told us that if we saved our notes in a file we would have the other two messages whenever we came back to that text.

I sorta do it that way, but not nearly so well.
