John 8 and the Best way to Purge the Land of Evil
My sermon on John 8 where we learn that God’s favorite way to purge the evil from the land is through forgiveness of sins and not judgment.
Jesus Being Practical and Helpful
‘Now it happened that while the crowd was pressing around Him and listening to the word of God, He was standing by the lake of Gennesaret; and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets. And He got into…
Ephesians 5:1-21 Ways to Show Our New Thinking
Sermon on Ephesians 5:1-21 from Westminster Church in Evansville, Indiana. Here are the notes I used.
Christmas in the Gospels Part 3: Luke
I taught from one of the Gospels for each Sunday of Advent. Luke is the most robust, of course, because his Christmas story was meant to fill in the details of what Matthew and Mark had already written.

God has a history of loving His people. When the…
Moses, Joshua, Jesus and a Good Time to Take off Your Shoes
The sound quality of this is a little scratchy, but the content is really good. I forget where I did this, maybe when I was Pastor at the Evansville Rescue Mission.
In this blurb, I talk about times when people in the Bible took off their shoes. There were certain things going on with them, going on with the Lord, and going on with the nation of Israel and God’s people.
