Questions
How does God "deliver" us?
What Has God Done for Us (You)?
What's In A Name?
Proclaimimg the Gospel
With the appearance of so many unfamiliar names, the delivery should be slowed down and be methodical without succumbing to "sing-song-ing" of the text.
Be careful of "localisms" in the names. For instance it is zeh-kuh-RY-uh not zAck-a-rye-uh
