Series: Over the years the Bible has been affectionately known as "The Good Book". People believed it to be the Word of God. Over the recent decades this idea has eroded away.

As much as no one likes to talk about it, one day we're all not going to be here anymore. So here's the socially awkward question: what will people be saying about you at your funeral? We will see that it might not be that hard to predict.

Sermon: Walking, running, hiking, swimming, driving, and living life. What do they all have in common? They're all more difficult to do while carrying a heavy load.

This sermon is designed to help us identify areas of our lives that may not be sin, but are slowing us down and hindering our progress in becoming more like Jesus.
Scripture Passage: Hebrews 12:1-3
