Sermons on Life At Sea:

Choose Life!

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 21, 2007

In response to Virginia Tech: we have choices -- to choose to live in the here and now; to choose to give life to our children by contradicting this violent culture; and to choose life eternal for ourselves.

“I had no choice.” Of all the things we heard this past week from the deeply disturbed mind of Cho Seung Hui, that stands out for me as key: “I had no choice.” Cho Seung Hui felt trapped and cornered. He felt driven to do this terrible thing. In his mind, every victim was to blame – they were ...read more

Anchors For Life

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Oct 6, 2004

Paul was taken on a voyage to Rome as a prisoner. He stood strong in the face of a terrible storm, because he has these anchors: (1) the anchor of God’s presence; (2) of God’s promise; (3) of God’s plan; (4) of God’s power.

Paul and some other prisoners were taken on a voyage towards Rome. We’ll read about his experience in Acts 27:14-26; 33-44.
