Dear Achen: I truly enjoyed listening to this sermon. It is perhaps one of your finest. The personal illustrations greatly added to the richness of the sermon. The story of the mother and her anguish is something we all faced at some time or other regretting why we did something. The story of the 82 year old gave me more insight into what focussing on God means.
Yes, most of the time, we do not realize that our actions can have impact on those around us - like a pebble dropped into a still lake.
One suggestion: Can you post the bible references. People who attend the service know it; but those on the internet don't; so knowing what bible passage you are commenting on will help us understand your sermons better.
