    This was preached on a day in which one of our members came forward to follow through with James 5:14-16

    This was a sermon that I preached for some new chaplains. It could be turned into a good sermon for a civilian setting with a different illustration.

    Read 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 We’ve been through a lot in our pasts. We’ve all gone to school for a long time. We have some very successful civilian ministries. In the last five weeks – we’ve gone through some good training Now what? What do we do now? It would be easy to sit on our laurels. ...read more

    A short sermon preached as part of a broadcast on BBC Radio for the 23rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C

    Today is one of those days. A day when you look at the gospel reading and wish that you weren’t preaching, or that you could roll over in bed and go back to sleep. The gospel for today is about the end times. It’s quite frightening stuff really with those images of nation against nation, ...read more

For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:16-17) ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    Sermon preached at the Peebles Church of Christ based on a church-wide survey taken of young people and older people.

All he could think about was the money invested and lost; the time and effort that had been put into the project. And now… everything ...read more
