Introduction
Hello everyone.
My name is am the Pastor at Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
If you are wondering where that is, as I was when I first was told we would be going there, Lowestoft is the easterly most point in the UK.
My wife is Norma, she is here and she is my bride of 29 years this year.
We are sorry we could not be with you all day, we had some local commitments.
But we are glad to be here now.
I have the honour of being the Youth Sponsor this year for the Area 8 Youth Federation.
That is you guys!
So I would like to start by publicly thanking (Thai-Chi) Chi-sha, Steffy and Thiago for all their hard word for today!
(Pause and applaude)
So, how has the day gone so far?
I look forward to hearing more about all the volunteering today.
ImpactClacton!
The “Be the Sermon”
And also getting to know some of you a bit better.
I already put a request in for Impact Lowestoft and GY for next year.
Scripture Reading
Let us read something from the bible.
A short reading this afternoon
Please open your bibles, your e-bibles to
(Look for Psalms, then you have ?
Proverbs, then you have Ec-cle-si-as-tes), then you will find it)
Be the Sermon
Let us remind ourselves
What is the theme of the Global Youth Day? “Be the sermon.”
“Be the Sermon”.
It is a great phrase.
Taking that time out for intentional acts of kindness
And has allot of thinking behind it.
Scripture Reading
But also I have heard some “not so good ones”.
Be the Sermon
Let me ask you something
How about, “Be the Sermon, Everyday”!
Just for this
“Be Jesus’ Sermon”
At home, at work, at school, at college..
Be the Sermon 24 *7.
“Be like Jesus”
Be the Sermon 360.
Be the Sermon 365
Be the Sermon, Everyday
“Be the Sermon, Everyday”!
Be the Sermon with your hands.
Be the Sermon with your feet.
Be the Sermon with your eyes
Be the Sermon with your ears .
Be the Sermon with your tongue.
Be the Sermon, Everyday, Everywhere and with Every part of you!
I think that is the whole point, right?
Day in and Day out.
At home, at work, at school, at college..
24 *7.
During Life 360.
Be the Sermon Everyday
The Reality Check
So Let me ask you, how is that really going for you?
Being the Sermon, everyday.
How much of a reality is that in your life and my life?
What about a reality check on that!
Day in and Day out?
At home, at work, at school, at college..
24 *7.
In Life 360.
Today is a high day.
We all need them.
We all need them.
Those mountain top experiences.
But what about in the valley of our ordinary life.
What about on Sunday, Monday...
Stats about young people that put God on the shelf for a season.
We all need high days like today.
We all need these mountain top experiences.
But the reality is, most of our lives are lived in the valley.
Doing the ordinary and amongst the ordinary.
Often mostly alone, in a world where there are temptations and trails around every corner.
Just as it was in Jesus life!
Spiritual Highs can lead to Lows
My concern for you is not so much here and now, it is the “afterwards”.
Never is a saint in so much danger as when he or she has been through a spiritual high.
The bible shows us that time and time again.
Just think of Abraham and Egypt, Jacob and Laban, David and Bathsheba, Elijah and wanting to die , Jonah and the Tree that shaded him, Peter and his thrice denial......
Business Trip to China
I have only been a full time Pastor for around 14 months.
My wife and I relocated from California back to the UK in Jan 2018.
I left a 28 year career with a High Tech company.
My background is Computer Science and Managed Information Systems.
Visit to Chongqing
It was about five years ago that I was on a business trip to China.
Chongqing
I traveled to Chongqing, in southern China.
We were visiting one of our factories that makes printers.
We were looking at putting in a new factory control system for the shipping containers that travel by sea into the USA .
The high tech Factories in China there are like university campus.
Apple and Foxconn.
We had a wonderful week and were shown total hospitality.
Stuck in Beijing
It came time to leave and travel home.
I would take a flight from
