Sermons & Lectures
I believe that preaching is a special thing. While the Bible is always our authority when teaching, in preaching it is the central focus. There are few tasks in ministry that equal the joy of digging deep into God’s Word and sharing the treasures found there.
(For lectures, you can see some of the videos I created for college courses on my YouTube channel. You can also find my two-part series on the Council of Nicaea at Magnify Church.)
My deepest thanks to the churches listed below for inviting me to share in their preaching ministry. If you live close enough, I hope you will give them a visit.
