Writing A Sermon And Why Its Important

Writing A Sermon And Why Its Important.

 Before taking this course I myself had never created a sermon, I have heard many of them before but never sat down and created one. But thankfully that changed during this semester. I think its important to create and conduct a sermon by yourself in front  of others more often then not. I think its also important to sit back during life and to really take in everything that you have either accomplished, or everything that you can be thankful for. Examples, like if you are an athlete things that you have done in your sport, like make a team, win a championship, things of that nature. I also think sitting back and being able to realize what you have that you normally take for granted was one of the main reasons why creating a sermon was very meaning full.

As I was creating my sermon for class, I took the time to put everything that I should be thankful for, everything that I have been able to so far in my life into a 4 page paper. And when you finally get to read it out loud in front of other people, you realize how important and how grateful we all should be. Being able to wake up everyday being a healthy 21 year old man, who can chase any dream I choose to chase, who can be able to say I to college are little things that you do not think about when you are doing them, but for other people they cannot do. Simple little things like being able to walk, thousands and thousands of people cannot walk, being able to play soccer at a high level is something that again many people cannot do. The thing that really struck me the most was when you think about your family, I have a wonderful mom and dad and two amazing sisters. Some people grow up without a father, without a mother, and I am lucky enough to have both. 

The greatest reason about writing and making this Sermon was just the fact that I finally got to look at everything I have that I never truly understood how grateful I am and how lucky and blessed I truly am.
