Hi, just getting nervous about speaking on Saturday (2-25-17) at church. Yes, my church rocks we meet on Saturday nights ;-p. im fighting fear and at the same time pride. I guess that's why the Word is a double edged sword. Not sure what I'm speaking about yet, just asking that what God wants just shakes me and I know that's the direction.

thanks, where 2 or more gathered = He is there

Took my church over a 1 year to get through the book of Ephesians.... Maybe you could try to break the record?

Just know the vast majority of the Audience who will be hearing your speech will be on your side... And it is true,, Probably all of the people in your church will be in a positive frame of mind towards you. If there was anywhere anyone would like to deliver their first public speech it would probably be in front of a congregation.

Make sure you are saying what the Lord wants you to say, make sure you know what you are going to say, and relax.

Butterflies are perfectly normal.
It's not a big deal.

The more you speak in front of people, the easier it will get.
