6/25/23 1 Samuel 15:34-16:13 “The Perfect Model” I remember a few years ago, Sharon and I drove to southern Minnesota to visit an old friend of mine who wasn’t all that healthy. We also drove around trying to find some of the sights that used to...
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...

5/14/23 John 19:19-27 “Here Is Your Son” Once again, I would like to wish everyone a happy Mother’s Day. I hope that this will be a day of joy for everyone. I know that some of us don’t have parents who are still alive. Some of...
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...
