Your Life As Bread Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

Our ordinary lives, like bread, can be blessed, broken, and given by Jesus to serve a greater purpose. We are called to see our lives as more than just ordinary, but as a means to serve and bless others.

Ever thought about how bread is like, everywhere? Seriously, think about it. In France, they've got baguettes and croissants. In Mexico, they've got tortillas. In India, they've got naan. And here in the US, we've got good old sliced white bread. Bread is like the most ordinary thing ever, right? ...read more

Blood And The One Blood

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jan 31, 2010

All of us are more alike than we are different, even those who are well outside our values. We need to see the broken as brothers and sisters in search of God, and to feel urgency about reaching them.

If blood is supposed to be thicker than water, meaning that we have a primary responsibility to our families, then I guess we had better know who our families are. I guess we’d better know who our blood kin are if blood is thicker than water, as the saying goes, and there is some kind of special ...read more

Life On The Flip Side

No Resolutions Just Commitments

Contributed by Mark Haines on Jan 7, 2009

Jesus calls us to make cross-carrying commitments. These are not resolutions that can be broken and forgotten in a matter of days. When a person picks up a cross, it’s a one-way trip. No one expects to come back.

I did not start eating healthy foods. I did not start exercising, but that all changed last January 14th. I had a ...read more
