6/18/23 Mark 4:26-34 “The Little Engine That Could!” I had a little trouble getting started on writing this sermon. I didn’t have writer’s block or anything like that. I learned early on in my ministerial career that as long as I had the word of God...
6/11/23 Romans 12:9-16 “Building a New Church!” I think that this is a very exciting time for people of the Methodist Church as you are gathering yourselves to begin the journey of making a new church. I know that most people don’t look at the forming...
6/4/23 Isaiah 6:1-8 “He’s Just a Little Bit Bigger!” It always fascinates me to study the Old Testament. It is filled with glorious stories and visions like the one we have today. I remember finishing a Bible study of Revelation once and it was awesome how...
5/28/23 Ezekiel 37:1-14 “What in the World Are You Doing?” There are times when I read the newspaper or watch the news and I have to ask myself, “What in the world is going on?” As a country we have a terrible spending problem. Along with...

5/7/23 Philippians 4:4-9 “The Absolute Key to a Better Life” Last week I got a little fixated as I only talked about, basically, one line from our Scripture lesson. I have found that this happens every once in a while, because the Scripture is so rich. ...
4/30/23 John 10:11-18 “Herding Sheep” I think that there are many great aspects of working with young people, our students, that I miss. They have ideas that I have never thought about. They have more energy than I can ever remember having. They have questions about...
4/23/23 Matthew 16:13-20 “Who Do You Say I Am?” Before I could create this sermon, I had to have quite a debate with myself. Have you ever done this? I love to debate with myself because I always win, no matter what I decide. Anyway, I...
4/16/23 John 20:19-31 “My Lord and My God!” I would like to begin today with a question. Does anyone here like scary movies? There are a few of you and that is ok. Personally, I don’t like any kind of scary movie. If I’m going to...
