Many churches today seem to be encouraging people to be good and all will be well. But God requires perfection from us. No amount of good things that we can do will put us right with God. However God has supplied the solution for us. Jesus lived a perfect life and is Himself perfection. If we put our trust entirely in Him and realize that all our righteousnesses, the good things we do, are like filthy rags. We are totally bankrupt before God and need to repent and put our trust in what He has done for us. This salvation is available to all who will put their trust in Him, no matter what their religious background or place in theworld. This is not a white man's religion but open to all who will believe.
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.
