Skinny Dipping, Mohawks, and the fear of the Lord

Go skinny-dipping often. Don’t wear a helmet.Get a tattoo before you are 18.And that is only the beginning of my advice for teens this week. That’s right, a whole sermon where I talk to teens. And after those first three words of advice, I know you parents will want your teens to hear the rest. 😉Now, I think sermons should be proclamation about Jesus and I will certainly do that, but this is a very different sermon for me. More of a fatherly coming of age talk. I hope. But let’s be honest here, no teen is actually reading this note. So, let me assure the rest of you. Every piece of advice I have for teens is totally applicable to you too. I hope all of us take home these ideas and put them to practice. There are a lot of different passages we will look at this week but maybe spend some time playing in Proverbs 1-8 and Ecclesiastes 12:1-5 to jump start your longing.Pastor Jace
