Lord’s Day Preaching at Eastside Baptist Church
The preaching of 1 Corinthians chapter 7 was among the more complex texts I’ve ever preached. My knowledge of this text has been increased and I’m sure will need to increase more. May God give grace to the hearing of His word.
the Foolishness of Preaching
Living in a day such as ours, preaching seems like such a silly thing to do when there are far more winsome ways (in our eyes) to win souls. Will the word of God be changed for us? May it not be so. “Dear brethren, if we are going to win souls, we must go…
Two For The Price Of One
As I continue my read through “the Soul Winner” by Charles Spurgeon I found this ‘two for the price of one’ nugget in the middle of chapter four. This has been a most helpful chapter for me and one that I highly recommend to all my preaching friends. But don’t miss the other value here.…

Your Sermon was Boring

Over the past several years I have heard (like everyone I suppose) a collection of comments that help me know how well I’m doing by recognizing the behavior of my flesh. Sometimes…
Preach the Word
To have an opportunity to preach the word anywhere is a humbling occasion. I have nothing to say to any gathered body of believers that is of any value unless it comes from the word of God. Last week, I was invited to preach (with an interpreter) to the Lord’s people in a faithful church in Port-au-Prince,…
