This coming Sunday, I will be preaching a sermon entitled, “What I don’t like about going to the doctor.”
The scripture is 2 Samuel 11:1-2. However, the entire chapter lies in the background.
The theme of the sermon is how to deal with our failures, both practical and moral. In addition, I hope to make some comment about what we think are God’s failures.
The sermon will be positive in nature.
Blessings your way.

Trinity Sunday is celebrated on the Sunday after Pentecost, reminding us of the three different ways we experience the one God whom we worship. We worship God the Creator; we worship Jesus who experienced the life of a human; and we worship the way that God works within us – the Holy Spirit.
Our Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God; And yet they are not three Gods, but one God. Praise be to God.
A NOTE FROM THE PASTOR:
Kedron is a unique place. It’s one of the most pleasant churches I have ever pastored. I look forward to attending every function and always drive away refreshed. When we are together, it is hard to believe the world is not just as nice.
Don’t misunderstand me. There are plenty of happy places in my life: but, I’m constantly reminded that there is much harshness and evil lurking just around the corner.
Not to be trite, but all one has to do is get in the car and drivesomewhere–anywhere. We pass by a world that is in a hurry to getsomewhere: and it’s best we not get in their way. Daily I’m reminded of reckless driving, road rage, and driving distraction. And, I’ve gotten where I can’t watch the evening news.(I get news online and can quit whenever I want to.)
It can be a harsh, heartless, and hard-hitting place”out there.” What makes it even worse (in my studied opinion) is that at the same time when our culture seems to be in decline, so is the church. It can’t be a coincidence.
That’s why it is more important than ever to be a part of a movement that teaches and encourages love, kindness, and morality. In addition, the selfless sacrifice of Jesus reminds us that others are sometimes more important than our own desires.
You are willing witnesses to the power of the Gospel and faith in Christ.
Keep it up!
Michael O’Bannon, Pastor
