You Tube Theology

A service of worship in Duke University Chapel. The Rev Dr Samuel Wells delivers a sermon entitled "Six Steps to Heaven." Opening excerpt from the sermon: (43:13) "Why do we still come to university? Why do we cram every tiny electronic gadget, every potential fashion statement and every classy-but-casual item of clothing into every last inch of our parents' car and drive an unimaginable distance to fulfill a dream of going to college? Surely it would be a whole lot cheaper, easier, and quicker to stay home and let the computer do all the work for you. Why don't you allow Skype and Amazon and Wikipedia to do the heavy lifting? You could simply cut out those tiresome professors and resident assistants. You'd never have to meet the nerdy student who threatens to drag you down into social oblivion or the super athlete who has the body of a Greek god and makes you feel like the original wimpy kid. Why not skip the exhaustion and humiliation and heartbreak of college and just do it all online? The answer is, because there's more than one kind of knowing" Closing excerpt from the sermon: (1:00:23) "That's what Moses discovers at the burning bush. Six steps to heaven. Six steps to knowing God. I'm now going to tell you the best news in all the world. What is the most important thing about knowing someone? The most important thing you can know about someone is what's in their heart. Heaven is knowing what's in God's heart. And d'you know what's in God's heart -- at the very heart of God's heart? You are" Sermon begins at 43:13. Exodus 3:1-15 Bulletin: http://bit.ly/paxq1t Sermon: http://bit.ly/nUdKnM
