How Change Happens Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Sep 2, 2005

The Amercian Soldier!

Contributed by Bradford Robinson on Sep 15, 2004

This sermon was preached at a service in honor of Todd Cherry, a young member of our church who was being sent to Iraq. It looks at what being a hero and a patriot means.

We throw around the term hero far to often these days. If a man can outrun a defender to score a touchdown, or if a person can slam dunk the ball we call them a hero. If a person can get on the big screen and pretend to do something great, we call them a hero. We have so belittled the term that ...read more
