Three years ago I had the opportunity to preach a sermon at my church in the evening service. It was great! Unfortunately (or fortunately?), the recording device did not work that night. However, I still have the notes and since this is one of my favorite passages of scripture, and I was reminded of it in Sunday School this morning, I thought I would re-read it and post it here for my reader (s?).

Evening
Sermon
Introduction: Eric Liddell
Have you
heard of Eric Liddell? He is the subject of the Oscar winning movie Chariots of
Fire.
Olympic Gold
Medalist and record setting sprinter.
Born in China and died in China at the age of 43. Refused to run in his event due to
convictions about racing on Sunday.
Instead ran a different and longer event and still won while also
setting a world record time.
Eric left
racing and followed the legacy of his parents by becoming a missionary in
China. He taught English and worked in the church where his father was the
pastor. He went to a poorer area to help
his brother who was a doctor and was caught up in the war between the Japanese
and Chinese.
