  • Comment to those looking at my sermons: I don’t claim to bring you anything new here. But as the Lord inspires me, I hope these are a blessing to you, and that you can take what I have written here, and blend/change it to meet what you feel the Holy Spirit is leading you to say....
  • Sermon or series that made a difference: Bro. Mike Marcellus (Austin Texas) and his sermons on Joshua. Series on Nehemiah 1999 at Real Life Christian Fellowship Houston Texas
