Preaching
Burning in My Soul
This is a work in progress. I originally wrote a very rough draft of this in 2006 and have been fine tuning it ever since. I gave it a major overhaul in 2015 and wrote it more as a prayer for ongoing direction in my life. A Personal Statement Concerning My Calling… OH LORD, on…
Every Thing Here Implies Hardship
Tonight, July 8, 2018, I begin a new evening sermon series I’ve entitled “How Do I Do That”. Admittedly, I’m not the most clever writer, titles of sermons elude me many times until after I’ve preached the sermon. I went with this title because all the good ones were already taken. For example, Francis Shaeffer…
How Do I Do That?
This coming Lord’s Day evening I will begin a new series of messages I have titled “How Do I Do That?”. It is a series of messages that start with the many places in Scripture that utilizes the oft repeated word, “therefore”. Join me this coming Sunday at 6:30 as I give an introduction and…
Expository Preaching Requires the Preacher to Preach Isaiah 20
As a pastor, it is a lot of pressure when you gather with family and friends and someone suggest we play “Bible Trivia”. It’s the only time I get picked first to be on a team. Not because I know anything, but apparently I’m looked at as the “expert”. That is a lot of pressure.…

To the Law and To the Testimony
“To the law and to the testimony!” Isaiah 8:20 There are many influences competing for our attention. All the more for why we must look eagerly for Christ. The many influences are swaying us to consult them. They sometimes whisper, they may sing, they may shout, they may laugh their way in, but one thing…
Darkness of Not Following God
This coming Lord’s Day at Eastside Baptist I will be preaching from Isaiah 8:16-22 “…they have no light of dawn. Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. Then they will look toward the earth and…
The Word of God Reforms Everything
“Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.” Isaiah 5:21 The prophet has strong words to the people who make claim to being followers of God. The spirit of God is still using this message to people who make claim to being followers of God. Does the…
