Saint Paul urges, “We preach Christ and him crucified”. Mere exegesis does not serve to bring a text to life, but a holy imagination. I was gripped by the way Travis was evidently gripped by the Passover motif in Exodus. Travis energetically preached beyond the story to set forth the Savior. He seems to get right that grand important truth that Christ is ensconced in all the Scriptures. I look forward to see how God will use him to forge our congregation.
