    This sermon was preached on Easter 2002 as I was dressed in a Roman Centurion Soldier costume. I preached the sermon as the soldier that was an eyewitness to the events of the first Easter.

    Easter Sunday 2002; Sermon delivered in Roman Centurion Costume What a strange religion these followers of Jesus Christ profess. Giving their money to the poor, helping the rejected, believing a virgin can have a son, and that a man raised from the dead. That’s the impression we all have when we ...read more

    What does it mean to put God first? How do we stop performing for others who may be watching and perform solely for Him?

    This is our fifth and final week in our series on Canadian Idols. Of course, you’ve got to wait until September 16 for the finale on CTV, but this is it for us.

    IN this short but effective first Christian sermon, Peter connected the dots to a series of puzzling Old Testament prophecies. Connected, the revealed image was Jesus Christ.

    Passage: Acts 2:14-41 Intro: The 1st recorded sermon delivered by a Christian preacher lasted 3 minutes and 3 seconds. 1. the altar call lasted longer, but the sermon itself was simple, short, to the point, and tremendously effective. 2. it was delivered to a group of people to whom God’s ...read more

    Every Christian desires to grow and mature in his or her walk with Christ. This sermon, which is the first of a series of sermons, introduces the keys to spiritual growth.

    Scripture While searching this week for a story to introduce my new series of sermons, my eye caught the following headline: “Man Lives in a Tree after Fight with His Wife—50 Years Ago!” I suppose I was drawn to this story because my first counseling assignment as a freshly-installed Associate ...read more

    To be in the presence of Jesus is all we need. Yet simple message gets so distorted and confused. People need to return to what is important and that is Jesus. This sermon explains why. Read and enjoy!

    This sermon was delivered to St Oswald’s in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 18th January 2015 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    20th and final message from a series on Ecclesiastes. Like Jesus, Qoheleth was committed to making disicples.

    We will never be able to enjoy the fruits of the harvest without first planting the seed. Noah’s ‘harvest’ was ‘righteousness’. But Noah could never have harvested righteousness without first planting the seeds that lead to righteousness

    Did you hear the story about the little girl sitting on her grandfather’s lap. He was reading the Bible story of Noah’s Ark to her. And in her innocence she asked, “Granddad, Were you in the Ark?” “Why, no I wasn’t.” Said the granddad - And she looked at him and said - “Then why weren’t you ...read more

    We are born into the kingdom or God, and like babies in the natural our Father God expects us to grow up.

    There was a group of tourists who were visiting a picturesque village and came upon an old man sitting beside a fence. In a rather patronizing way, one of the tourist asked, “Were any great men born in this village?” The old man replied, “Nope, only babies.” Very true, only Adam and Eve did not ...read more
