Youth sermon: Life’s three greatest choices

Choices

Introduction

Did God create evil? Where did it come from? Evil is the antithesis of good; in order for there to be good, there must be evil. Though God did not create evil, He did create the potential for evil when He gave man a choice to disobey (see text). The issue of choice is the difference between man and the animal kingdom. Man has the capacity to choose between good and evil. The quality of life is determined by the choices you make. In the next 5-10 years you will be called upon to make the most important choices in your life; choose well!

Sermon: Zacchaeus – The transformed life of a short angry man

Zacchaeus

Introduction

Text: Luke 19:1-10

I was born and raised in a small town named Nuwara Eliya, located in the hill country of Sri Lanka. It’s a very peaceful town surrounded by water falls, tea plantations, mountains and constantly touched by the mist. The British who lived here during colonial times fell in love with the beauty of Nuwara Eliya and gave it the name “Little England”. Even today the town is very popular for its beauty and the climate that it annually attracts at least 50,000 tourists (local and foreign).
