    Preached at the National Baptist Memorial Church -- a congregation facing selecting a pastor, dealing with an aging building, and in decline. The issue is whether we will stop depending on just being "good" and will live out of grace to bear our witness

    I heard not long ago about a very special automobile. It was built in the 1920’s by the Italian firm Bugatti, and it was designed for the outrageously wealthy. This car had 450 horses under the hood, it was 22 feet long and weighed 6000 pounds. It was hand-crafted of the finest materials, it ...read more

    Fear, forgiveness and faith AFTER the crucifixion of Christ.

    Your best friend just got murdered - executed, in fact. You could have helped him escape, but you ran instead. You’re angry and disappointed, not only in yourself, but in your friend. He said he could handle it. He said he was big enough to avoid it. He said he was God. Or at least, that’s what you ...read more

    This is my attempt at an inductive-style sermon dealing with the coming of Christ.

    ILLUS: I have a friend that I respect a lot. Just this last week, he told me that he’s coming to see me. He says he’s coming soon! -This is a person of high status, so I want to do my best to be ready for him, so I asked, “When are you coming? What day” - He said , “I can’t tell you that. ...read more

    A sermon designed to motivate complacent Christians to become more committed and involved in the church.

    Introduction: When I was a kid growing up on the farm, one of the annual jobs I always looked forward to was the "chicken harvest." I guess I should apologize in advance for the somewhat graphic nature of this illustration; however, it best illustrates my point. Nonetheless, I looked forward to ...read more

    In Luke’s gospel (12:35) we find the first extended teaching on the Second Coming of Jesus and here he warns his followers to be ready. In these verses we are given three distinct characteristics of a “good waiter.”

    A Study of the Book of Luke Sermon # 34 Are You Ready? Luke 12:35-44 We have all seen and laughed at the Ameritrades commercial that shows the lazy husband reclining on the coach as his wife tells him to do one thing that day – ...read more

     | 6,208 views

    This is the final in a series exploring the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, and the "advantage" Jesus said He would be leaving with us. This message explores the fruit of the Spirit.

    (For this sermon, a very large bowl of fruit was placed front and center on the stage. Large enough that it was noticed immediately when people came in for worship. It was utilized as an ’active’ prop during the message.) The words of John 16 should be familiar to you by now. Jesus is sharing ...read more

    34th in a series from Ephesians. Jesus is the truth who transforms our lives.

    Marilyn Monroe was once reportedly asked if she adhered to a faith.
