On March 6-7 I had the opportunity to preach at First Evangelical Free Church in Rockford, IL for the spring missions conference. The title of the sermon is “In the Mi(d)st of Reality” and is from Isaiah 46 (same as in Davis a few weeks ago). I was able to get an audio file from Rockford and have embedded the sermon presentation with the sermon audio above.
You can also right click on this sermon link and select “save link as…” to download just the audio (mp3) file.

Just for fun: In the text below see if you can find a section where there’s an A-B-C-D-E-E’-D’-C’-B’-A’ chiasm. That is, sentence A is parallel to (it’s formed like) sentence A’, sentence B is formed like B’, etc. If you get it, let me know in the comments.
