Smudge's Six-minute Sermon ( 13th March )
Verse of the week (2 Timothy 1 :10)
“Christ has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospels”
Message of the week
There are some truths we can all hold close and use as anchors for our souls. Firstly (raised last week), in a fallen world pain has a positive function. It is a sign that danger is coming! We can’t fully comprehend why God allowed pain in the world but as discussed last week we can see its positive purpose. Secondly, that the Christian Faith has survived its worst moment, the death of its leader! By his life and deluge into darkness and most awful death he has brought renewed hope to the Christian faith. The hope that if they accept this that redemption, joy and eternity with him will be the consequence. This will long outlive the one-dimensional and shallow philosophies of life.
Quote of the week
Christianity is unique and invincible. No other faith has such a message, no other faith has such a saviour.Prayer of the weekLord Jesus, help me remember when life is difficult that I belong to a saviour who has not only made life possible, but full of possibilities. I am so thankful, Amen.
Also pray for…
A commitment to Christian traditions throughout the world, Those whose faith are weak, the sexually immoral

This is a really good idea, and very original. I've never seen anything like this before. Although one criticism is that it took me 7 minutes to read, so I think you should change the title! I hope you continue to do this everyweek, I will contiually check it. I found this on blog explosion and it really uplifted me for the week, thank you!
