The Sermon No One Wants to Preach but Everyone Needs to Hear

b'When I was a kid, my dad never sat me down and had "the talk" with me. I\'m not exactly sure why he never did this, but I can guess. I think he dreaded it so much that he just kept putting it off. One day he realized that I was simply too old and he just let it go. To be fair, I wasn\'t knocking on his door asking him questions. As much as he didn\'t want to have "the talk" with me, I didn\'t want to have "the talk" with him. I guess is was a mutual decision. But, for both of our sakes, it was a conversation we NEEDED to have. Now, this Sunday, we will NOT be talking about the "Birds and The Bees." But we will be discussing a subject that most pastors avoid. They don\'t want to preach it. Most people don\'t want to hear it. Leave it to Pastor Dave to broach the uncomfortable subjects! As we work through our series on \'This Is Church\' we are going to talk about something that everyone needs to hear. And, actually, I don\'t think it will be uncomfortable at all. It\'s going to be fun and challenging as together we live life together; equipping each other to live the mission of the gospel. If you want to get a sneak peak of this message, read I Corinthians 5.'
