Sermon #1.....The Fall
My brothers and sisters I come to you now a lesser man than I was before. As most of you know my family and I recently loss my father John. He was a great man but I come to you today to speak upon another man who endured a fall much more then any mortal could possibly withstand, that man is the Lord Jesus Christ. He was beaten battered and torn to the very bone and still stood up for who he was, the king of man, God. Now my point here brothers and sisters is to know, no matter what we endure physically and mental, Christ, our lord and savior endured more then we could ever imagine on both levels. I must now speak upon my works outside of the church and that is of another world to itself, the wrestling world. I will be taking part in a match of epic proportion and I myself will be beaten and bruised and taking down in every way possible till I can handle no more, then I must get right back up and keep fighting for my faith and God's Will. I know in my heart no matter how much mental stress I'm in for with my recent loss and how much pain these men put me through, I will not even be touching what happen to our Lord and that will keep me going. My Fathers faith and pride in me shall shine that night and I will wind this battle for God and my Father.

The park seemed beautiful today as I looked about surprised at how few people had made it out of their houses. It seems the world doesn't up at 5am like I do, I can't help it though, the nightmares just wont seem to hault. Between my match and my father not being here to support me in person this had to be the worst day of my life. I now find myself in a bit of rut. The trees began to sway as the wind blew through them gently, I got a chill like something wasn't right. I then heard someone approaching and then a yell.....
Voice: Rev!
I quickly jumped up and my eyes moved around me, searching for the mysterious yet seemingly familiar voice.
Voice: Rev! Is that you!
I then found myself in the direction of the sound and I peered ahead as I saw a figure approach but as it did, it disappeared into the shadows. I felt as if I was hallucinating and could not seem to get a grip on myself. Maybe the stress was getting to me, I had alot on my mind lately, that must have been it. The voice was still rather familiar though I could not quite seem to pin point whose voice it was.
_______________________
My door creaked as I made my way into my lowly apartment, I had come to dread this place fore it only gave me a sleeping spot and provided no other sources of life that I so desperately had needed. One of the reasons I got back into wrestling is because of this place of disgust and self loathing, I couldnt stay here long but I was trying my best to recollect whose voice I had heard. It was old, I knew that much but nothing else came to me. I sat down on my bed and tried hard to think of who it was I then felt the same awkward chill and I seemed to be pulled to look in a old shoe box of stuff in my closet. I quickly ran over and to it and started siphling through quickly in hopes of finding the thing that would jog my memory. Then in and instant I saw it, it was an old picture of me and my friend Aaron, I then realized the voice had been his, despite the fact I had not talk to him in a long while I decided I had to call him. I found the phone number and snatched the phone, I set down upon my bed and dialed and waited and hoped for him to pick up.
Aaron: Hello?
Reverend: Hey Aaron is that you?
Aaron: Rev!.....Rev! Is that you!
I then had a moment of de ja vu before answering him.
Reverend: Yes, this is me.
Aaron: Its been a long time.....what have you been up to?
It felt awkward talking to him after so long but I knew for some reason that he had something I needed....an answer to a question that I didnt even know yet but soon hoped to find out.
Reverend: I'm sorry I haven't talked to you in so long but I've been very busy....also just so you know my father passed out not to long ago.
Aaron: Woah.....are you serious...I'm so sorry man, I know how close you to were.
Reverend: Yea well, also I have something kind of important coming up that I need to speak with you about.....
The muscles in my stomache knotted for some reason, I couldnt understand why fore I wasnt nervous in the least but something felt wrong.....
Aaron: Ok, cool....actually whats really weird about this whole situation is when I woke up this morning I felt a strange feeling that I needed to talk to you but I just decided to disregard it because I had not spoken to you in such a very long time....well what seems to be the situation?...are you in any trouble or something?
Reverend: No no no.....Its a match I have coming up that has me a bit shaken, well not only the match but just the aura of my life right now has me wondering, am I doing what God truly wants from me?....I can't seem to shake this feeling since my fathers death that I am doing all the wrong things and have been and thats why He took him from me. My dad was a great man and he went and took him away, the only man who ever believed in me no matter what I did.
I started to lose my voice and tears began to roll down my cheek, I paused for a moment trying to collect myself. Memories of me with my dad shot through me and made me feel as if all hope for me was lost.
Aaron: Are you ok?....listen to me for a second...you and I both know that your dad would want you to continue what you started. You told all of us it was God's will that you go to the WFWF and punish people for their ignorance, now look at you. Your not thinking clearly and if I were you I would get back to where I belonged, you pushed us all away and wanted to do this on your own, well maybe God's message to you is that you cannot do this alone and you do need your friends and family.
I pondered his words thoroughly and realized this is why I needed to call him....I needed the reassurance and God knew this, this is truly what I need, I need my family, my friends, I need to go back to where it all started to move forward.
Reverend: Thank you very much, I must rest now....I promise I will call you again soon.
Aaron: Good luck and in your match and I'm always here for you....bye
The phone call had ended so quickly yet Aarons words ran through me and sent chills through body and I was aware that his words were actually the words of God himself sent to me through him and I felt complete once again. I then decided to lie down, after the experience, I knew I needed the rest.

The dream land came to me in full force though I seemingly knew I was dreaming, I knew not exactly what the dream had in store for me, I peered about looking for something that would help me understand only to find myself shifted and then seated at a table. I was in some sort of diner that I never been before and in front of me sat a guy reading the menu, it covered his face yet something was familiar about how he slumped in his seat. Then I knew who it was almost all at once......
Reverend: Father....is it really you?
He layed down the menu and looked at me and it was him...he had a soft gentle smile on his face and a look of peacefulness that I had never seen before. I became speachless almost instantly as the shock set in.
John: My son, I have a limited amount of time for this visit, we must get to the point.....
Reverend: What point?
I looked at him puzzled as I awaited his answer.
John: I come to you now to help you, this is my decree to you my son. Watch for the signs of our lord and savor and keep to your faith. You must over come the obstacles that you now face. I have only but one more thing to say to you my son. You have all the answers, you just havent realized it yet.....

Sermon #2.....The Revival
I dreampt of something great last night brothers and sisters...something that will shake your souls. It gave me the hope and the ability to carry forth in my match at Scars and Stripes and now for those out there who would wish upon me a loss or harm. Come the night when we all look at eachother and find ourselves fighting for our lives to stay within the confines of that ring for that title shot that we all are sure is for us and us alone, I have news for everyone of you. God will be present that night in the flesh, he will be in me and with his might and the strength of so many who carry on in the faith and worship him, I shall overcome this small hell that I will be placed into. Evil has no right to be within the presence of God and that night I...He will make sure that it is known. I have came a long way from my beginings and I have fought my way to the top and will not falter. The Blasphemy that has infested that title for so long will now be purified through the Lord our Savior....Amen
ooc: This is my second and final rp...These last weeks have been hectic so im hoping these rp atleast get me into the final 5...I have commencement and everything coming up so I'm getting this up now before I forget. Comments and Critism are welcome...thnx
