About Christi
  • Education: I no longer wish to associate with the denomination I started with. While they taught me good things, I moved in a different direction.
  • Experience: Years of teaching, studying, and pouring over boring information to find a gem.
  • Comment to those looking at my sermons: I love studying the Word. If you don't agree with me, that's ok please move on. I was corrected many years ago, and I'm no longer interested in an argument. I'm a Bible study teacher not a preacher. You'd have to put your preaching gift on my teaching gift. The gray writing in parenthesis is not to be read out loud, the other gray writing is the replaceable part with your stories. Mostly quote NKJV, even though I'm a KJV fan.
  • Sermon or series that made a difference: First, hearing that God wasn't mad at me! Second, I was visiting a church. My mother leaned over and whispered to me, "This pastor is boring. He's just reading the Bible, and making every obvious comment." And then I replied, "Captain Obvious!" As I began to chuckle, I heard inside me, "Can you do any better?" I was freaked out, and I thought, "No!" I was about 21. I immediately humbled myself and started praying, "Lord, teach me to teach." It changed my life. A big thank you to Pastor Captain-Obvious.
  • One of my favorite illustrations: Peanut butter and jelly sandwich!
  • What my parents think of my sermons: My Father is in Heaven. He absolutely loves everything I teach! My mother on the other hand, gets that look like, "Oh great.. here we go again!" hahaha
  • If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: God loves us. We can't speak enough about His love.
  • Something funny that happened while preaching: When I was first starting out, I skipped a page in the lesson plan for teens, and read, "This is the perfect 'peanut butter and jelly sandwich' story," like it was my own comment. It made no sense. They called me out on it and I tried to talk my way out of that embarrassment... and then passed out mini Reese's PB cups I had in my church bag.
