About RAY
  • Education: BTh from Otago University, Dunedin, New Zealand.
  • Experience: 12 years rural ministry and 15 years urban ministry.
  • Comment to those looking at my sermons: Please be gentle with me!
  • What my parents think of my sermons: Not much, since my parents are dead.
  • What my spouse (really) thinks of my sermons: Sometimes impressed!
  • Best advice given to me about preaching: Always preach using the Bible, use illustrations where possible and try to be as clear as possible. Be able to explain your main message in a sentence before you preach it. Keep it brief and remember to stop while you still have the people with you.
  • Books that have had an impact: Holiness of God by RC Sproul
  • If I could Preach one more time, I would say...: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own wisdom or insight. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
  • Something funny that happened while preaching: Someone got up and contested what I said, so I asked them to speak to me afterwards.
  • What I want on my tombstone: He was a subject of grace and any glory goes to Christ.
