Sermons

I've had a couple sermons published in Biblical
Preaching Journal, published by the Biblical Preaching Institute and edited by Michael Mooty. I seldom write full manuscripts for my sermons, so these are about the only examples of my preaching style available in writing. They're fun!

If you'd like to hear me deliver a sermon or two, follow the St. James' Church link to where we store audio files of our sermons. Easy listening!
