About David
  • Education: Masters of Divinity Andrews University, Berrien Springs, MI
  • Best advice given to me about preaching: "Preach Christ, not yourself; shepherd faithfully, and trust God for the results." Proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ: Don't seek personal glory or validation. Shepherd Faithfully: Care for others with humility, love, integrity and vulnerability. Trust God for Results: Growth and the transformation of hearts are the work of the Holy Spirit. This advice aligns with biblical principles (1 Corinthians 2:2, 1 Peter 5:2-3, Philippians 1:6)
  • Books that have had an impact: "Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God" by Francis Chan "The Cost of Discipleship" by Dietrich Bonhoeffer "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis "The Bondage of the Will" by Martin Luther "The Heidelberg Catechism"
  • Hobbies: Reading and Writing Travel, Cultures and Languages Nature: Walks and Mountains
  • If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: "Grace is enough." In a world full of striving, comparison, and self-reliance, we often forget that God’s grace is sufficient for every need, every weakness, and every moment of our lives. The truth is, no matter where we’ve been or what we've done, God's love for us is unshakable. His grace is not just a doctrine to be understood, but a power to be experienced and lived out. I would remind us that it’s not our own efforts, our own goodness, or our own strength that determines our worth before God. It is His grace. His unmerited favor. The grace that calls us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. If I could preach one more time, I would say: Don’t try to earn God’s love or approval. Rest in the fact that He has already given it freely. And let that grace transform the way you live, love, and serve. In that grace, we are freed from the tyranny of pride, the weight of comparison, and the exhaustion of self-sufficiency. We can now humble ourselves, serve others, and worship God from a heart of gratitude. And finally, I would urge everyone to remember that no matter what happens in life, the gospel is still good news. Jesus is still the Savior, and His grace is still greater than all our sin.

  • Strong Enough To Serve

    Contributed on Oct 30, 2025
     | 44 views

    Jesus grants authority not for control but for compassion; strength flows through humility, and true greatness is found at the basin of service.

    There are few sights more moving than real authority wrapped in humility. It’s rare. We’re accustomed to power that postures, rank that separates, and leadership that needs to be noticed. Every now and then, we glimpse the beauty of someone who is both strong and gentle—someone who knows exactly ...read more

    Jesus calls His church beyond comfort, silence, and spectacle—to live Spirit-filled, Scripture-grounded lives that reveal His power and love.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

     | 20 views

    Revival begins and endures when we seek, rely, and rest in God—trusting His strength in prosperity, adversity, and every ordinary day.

    Part 1 – The Background and the Blessing There are times when the Spirit of God moves in obvious ways — when people are desperate, when the bottom has dropped out, when tragedy drives hearts to prayer. But there are also quieter seasons, when everything seems fine, when the bills are paid, the ...read more

  • When Truth Needs Fire

    Jesus rekindles cold faith by engaging every doorway of our soul—mind, heart, and body—so truth burns with love again.

    INTRODUCTION — The Right That Feels Wrong There is a kind of religion that is technically correct and emotionally vacant. People walk in with good doctrine and walk out… colder than they came. And here’s the heartbreaking part: They were right. The Sabbath is right. The Second Coming is ...read more

  • The Ache For Meaning

    Contributed on Oct 29, 2025
     | 13 views

    Every human ache for meaning is the soul remembering its Maker—God’s embrace disguised as longing, inviting us home to relationship and rest

    (When the Soul Remembers God) It began with a phone call. My oldest son’s voice was steady at first, then it trembled. He’s forty-one now—bright, competent, a systems manager for a defense company, respected by his peers. On paper, everything about his life says success. Yet that afternoon, ...read more
