So we might preach through Philippians and then John 1-12 and then Gen 1-11 and then John 13-21 etc. This way, we're letting the Word set the agenda.<BR/><BR/>I concede that at some point we have to make decisions about what to includeBenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11619120700915546597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-195100233619066717.post-80922380659414411102007-03-27T08:11:00.000-05:002007-03-27T08:11:00.000-05:00@Ben:I didn't represent either topical or exegetic...@Ben:<BR/>I didn't represent either topical or exegetical sermons faithfully.
