Today’s sermon was preceded by a video taken recently at a Texas shelter featuring survivors of Hurricane Harvey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuBQLiuGQvY&t=1s.

Today’s sermon included a special message for several high school graduates who are preparing to start college this fall. However, the overall message is directed at everyone, regardless of age or season in life. There were several videos included throughout the service. The first video is a special message from our overseas missionaries Daniel, Laura and Josie Peal (https://www.facebook.com/thepealfamily/). Later on in the service Philip also showed a short home video of a teenager jumping off a cliff into a pond, followed by a little girl being held by her father also jumping into the water (courtesy of the Hanna family).
