This morning's sermon for my trial service to become a Methodist Local Preacher "On Trial".
While I have been preaching for a while, I'm not officially qualified to preach within the Methodist Church. This is the second level (should I pass following reflection on today's service.). Tried to do something different with this one. No point in staying with what's safe, or sticking to what I'm good at... The chance for feedback was too good! The wisdom of Disney as reminded by being in the same room as the boy watches "Zootropolis."
If you've not seen it, do... The basic premise is that in a world where predators no longer eat prey (best I can work out they have replaced meat with doughnuts), Judy Hopps wants to become the first "Bunny Cop" in Zootropolis. Typical ups and downs with twists follow. But this is the exchange that caught me again this morning: "Flattery will get you anywhere..." ... Always worth trying I guess. "A smile that could light up the whole town..." ... Why thank you! "He could sell water to a drowning man..." ... It's all about the patter. But it wasn't my flattery, gorgeous smile or patter that worked today...
