We are at a place in the book of Acts where life and circumstances are changing big time for the Apostle Paul, but there is one thing that isn't changing in his life and that should be the same for you and me. It matters not if we are male or female, young or old, a pastor, mechanic, clerk, or a student. If we are a Christian, it should never change in our lives either.

People today demand that their preacher be funny, cool, and very uplifting. Not too heavy... or negative... and certainly not to warn or condemn. Would Jesus have fit in that mold? How about John the Baptist or the Apostles? Why were they so heavy all the time? Here are some heavy words from Mark.
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- Why would Jesus, the apostles, and John the Baptist seem too heavy to people today?
- Why would they be under pressure to lighten up?
- Why would they refuse to... what are the truths behind their attitude?
- How are we dealing with those truths in our lives?

The Bible calls preaching foolishness and powerful...why? Why has God ordained this thing called preaching as one of the primary ways he saves and makes disciples? Does God actually speak to people through the preaching of a mere fallible human? How does all of this work?
