Sermons
I've been preaching at least a few times per year since the late 1990s, and now I preach every other week as an Associate Pastor. I've lost many of my earliest sermons - a mixed blessing, for sure - but any complete sermons that I have found and all future sermons will be posted here.
Sermons are listed according to date, with the most recent appearing at the top of the list. I generally do not give titles to my sermons - I'm not really a fan of such a practice - but I have given titles to these sermons so that this list isn't simply an index of dates.
I apologize for the awkward formatting. I write my sermons with a loose sentence structure, with indentations and breaks, building upon phrases and thoughts rather than carefully crafted sentences appropriate for publishing. Copying and pasting that format from Microsoft Word to the blog's HTML code isn't always clean. My apologies.
