    We don’t have to blow things away if we don’t like them, or seek to escape from the realities of life if we can’t seem to do anything about them. There is a third alternative.

     | 4,069 views

    based on 59 ratings

    This sermon talks about a major hindrance to changing our sinful habits which is the fear of change itself. The apostle Paul is an example of man who fought change. "Kick against the goads?"

    Work - we’ll get God’s perspective on it - on why we do it and how we are to do it, and we’ll also talk about some of the practicalities of the kind of work that we do.

    WHO WORKS? Could you put your hand up please if you get paid to work? And those who don’t get paid - if you do housework, or some type of volunteer work? I would have thought that everyone would have their hand up because everyone works. Children have schoolwork, and homework. Almost everyone has ...read more
