When he said that, one little boy shot his hand up and said: \u201cI\u2019m not going die!\u201d The whole congregation laughed. That pint-size Prometheus was sure he\u2019d find a way to escape death. Each of us has within us that pint-size Prometheus who says: \u201cYes, there\u2019s death, but somehow I\u2019m going to escape it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nSelect <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/?p=9452\"> here<\/a> to read more or <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/All-Saints-sermon.pdf\">here <\/a>for a pdf document.<br>\n\n\n\n<br><p><strong>Sermon 2: \u201cHe who calls you is faithful and he will do it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 Thessalonians 2:8-13<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A sermon for the end of the season of Pentecost<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of us know the story, \u201cThe Sorcerer\u2019s Apprentice,\u201d because of the Disney cartoon version, \u201cFantasia,\u201d starring Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer\u2019s apprentice. The story goes like this. The sorcerer leaves his workshop, leaving his apprentice, Mickey, with chores to do. Tired of fetching water by the pail, the apprentice enchants a broom to do the work for him, using magic in which he is not fully trained. The floor is soon awash with water and the apprentice cannot stop the broom because he doesn\u2019t know the magic required to do so. The brooms multiply, the room floods, and the great music, written over 100 years ago, gives the sense of this growing catastrophe. When all seems lost, the old sorcerer returns and quickly breaks the spell.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSelect <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/?p=9459\"> here<\/a> to read more or <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pente-1-Thess-29-13.pdf\">here <\/a>for a pdf document.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Sermon 1: The last enemy to be destroyed is death<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 Corinthians 15:26<\/p>\n<p>A sermon for All Saints Sunday<\/p>\n<p>Select <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/?p=9452\"> here<\/a> to read more or <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/All-Saints-sermon.pdf\">here <\/a>for a pdf document.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sermon 2: \u201cHe who calls you is faithful and he will do it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 Thessalonians 2:8-13<\/p>\n<p>A sermon for the end of the season of Pentecost<\/p>\n<p>Select <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/?p=9459\"> here<\/a> to read more or <a href=\"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Pente-1-Thess-29-13.pdf\">here <\/a>for a pdf document.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","category-sermons"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9449"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9449\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9490,"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9449\/revisions\/9490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/crossalone.us\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
