Morphing is a whole body transformation. It is metabolic, metaphoric, and metamorphic. As the process of metamorphosis is different for each person, so must the metaphoric stages of preaching also be a journey.

Each sermon is another hoisting of the sails, steering of the vessel, on that “disciple ship.”
