Sermon: "Groundhog Day Living"
Rev. Billy Hester begins his sermon by talking about the movie of the same name staring Billy Murray and relates that to our living. Then talks about the "Sermon on the Mount" and the Beatitudes. He then gives us a prayer to learn: "Sheperd me O God, beyond my words, beyond my fears, from death into life." From there he mentions Kobe Bryant and his tragic death and the struggles he had in life. But he also learned from his mistakes. Near the end of his sermon, he mentions that 'we don't know how long we have, but we do know we have now.'
