How to Serve with Excellence (1 Timothy 4:6-10)
Serving God excellently involves confronting errors, diligently studying Scripture, practicing spiritual discipline, and committing to impactful, kingdom-focused work.
Sermons
I’ve been preaching for over thirty years now. Almost every one of the sermons I’ve preached since 1996 is here.
Some of the sermons are good, but not all of them. I’ve learned a lot in the thirty-plus years I've been preaching, and I still have a long way to go.
Feel free to use these sermons as a resource. If you’re a preacher, please preach your own sermons.
Where Forgiveness Begins (Matthew 18:21-35)
Forgiveness is essential for spiritual growth, commanded by Scripture, and requires extending the same unlimited mercy and grace that God has shown to us.
Pictures of the Church (1 Timothy 3:14-16)
The church is God's family, possession, and a pillar of truth, which means we must maintain good conduct, defend biblical teachings, and share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
How to Handle Temptation
Resisting temptation requires being realistic about its inevitability, taking personal responsibility, understanding its process, and relying on God’s strength to overcome it.
Deacons (1 Timothy 3:8-13)
Deacons are church servants with specific qualifications focused on service, while elders oversee leadership and governance.
