As I’ve been thinking and talking with others about discipleship a number of subjects have come up as topics churches need to address. In fact I’ve started to create a list for a possible series of sermons. Which includes:
Money and Debt
Marriage and marriage breakdown
Sex:
- Single people, including younger people and older people
- Gay people
- Sexualisation of children
Employment, unemployment and job uncertainty
Adjusting to the demands of aging parents
Children and family stress
Bereavement
Broken dreams (or is it a mid-life crisis?)
Health
- How do you cope with your own frailty
- How do you cope if a member of your family has a crippling illness
Addiction – porn, alcohol, drugs, work
Temptation
Stress, depression, and mental wellbeing
If you could choose some sermon topics to help you face real life issues, what would you add to the list?
