[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/oNpH5tx4Pu8" width="425" height="350" wmode="transparent" /]turn the sound down on the Youtube video and then click on my version of 03 Will Your Anchor Hold.mp3 Let me know what you think
I'll use this in the service to talk to the Anchor Boys about Jesus their anchor. My challenge will be to make it relevant and interesting for the boys. I think I will try and emphasis what it means to be brave and strong to stand up and do the right thing.
The sermon will be divided into two parts. I'll speak to the older boys about the folly of thinking you are invincible. The story of the "Titanic" is an excellent example of modernity in the early 20th century.

The designers of the Titanic are reported to have said, even God himself couldn't sink her. It is a great lesson on the importance of being humble in face of the great challenges of life. All of us need to face the fact that we are vulnerable people who make mistakes and need the forgiveness and companionship of the Almighty. Have a look at this short summary of the story of the Titanic. In this story we learn that we all need to be saved from ourselves and the folly of the world around us.
This story can also be seen as a living parable from real life describing the pearl of the human condition. So many young people can start their life thinking they are invincible until come up against the icebergs in the ocean of life.

George Best was such a person, he had so much talent. However he began to think he was invincible. He was unable to weather the storms that came into his life.
