Why is Christmas such a dreadful time of the year for some people, that they commit suicide? It's a time that seems to promise all the joys of family life and yet there are many people who have grown away from their other family members, either on purpose or by accidents of life. Christmas has turned into a horribly money grubbing time of year.
But Christmas is really about the wonder of God coming down to our world as a human baby. It is the beginning of the years of service and teaching of our Lord Jesus, which led to his sacrifice on Calvary where He died to forgive the sins of all who will believe in Him. Reach out to Him today and accept His forgiveness and you will find that He is the only family you really need.
First of all thanks to Fat Prophet for your interest. I see from your blog you are having trouble commenting. To get back to my assessed service. Criticism albeit constructive is harder for some to take than others. I felt a little crushed after my assessed service but then remembered I had recorded it on my dictaphone. I listened to it all through and although my assessors were quite right about me speaking a little quickly and rushing from item to item, I was actually very pleased with the content of my sermon and how I presented it. So I have decided to take heart. I highly recommend other trainees to record your services. You can hear your good points and your bad and there is no argument about it, it is all caught on the recorder.
