About This Video
Shawn's teaching emphasizes calming the turbulent aspects of Christianity by focusing on a biblical perspective that unifies the experience of both new believers ("Milk" study) and mature believers ("Meat" study), highlighting the importance of being born-again and maintaining steadfast faith. By using the analogy of a cruise ship navigating rough seas, Shawn illustrates the need for spiritual reflection to understand what being a Christian truly means, thereby simplifying and unifying the various aspects of faith and love.

Milk and Meat Sermon for September 8th, 2013
Welcome
Try and imagine that we are all on a cruise ship way out to sea. And hard as it might be to believe I am the captain of that ship. The ship is broken up into two major groups – those below deck (the youngsters) and those above deck (our senior citizens). Thus far we have all had a pretty nice journey. But we’ve been in some high seas for a few days and as captain I can see that everybody on board (young and old) could really use a good strong dose of Dramamine. That’s what our message is going to be today for Milk and Meat – a good strong dose of biblical motion sickness medicine.
Being a Christian
I mean, being and studying Christianity, though in the end winds up being very simple – can become so turbulent and rife with waves of musts and must nots that every now and again it can be of some real value to just step back and calm the seas. That’s what I want to attempt to do with everyone today – provide some biblical perspective of what being a Christian truly means.
Our Studies
It is timely because in our Milk study we have been talking all about being born-again. And in our Meat study we have been talking about “continuing steadfast in faith.”
Living the Faith
So I want to summarize what all of this “looks like,” and how we approach living it.
