Everyone’s a Minister (Ephesians 4:7-16)
Churches grow when pastors equip all members to use their spiritual gifts for ministry instead of doing all the work themselves.
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.
Secrecy (Matthew 6:1-4, 16-18)
Practice spiritual disciplines and do good deeds secretly for God's approval alone.
Confession
Confessing sins to one another enhances authenticity, community, shared strength, personal relief from pretense, and deeper forgiveness, reminding us that we don’t struggle alone.
Shepherdology 101 (1 Peter 5:1-14)
Churches thrive when pastors serve as humble shepherds driven by calling, not obligation, money, or power, while congregants follow with humility and remain alert to spiritual dangers.
Servanthood
True greatness, as Jesus teaches, lies in humbly serving others, prioritizing their needs, and following Christ’s example of selfless servanthood.
