You can find my most recent sermons on the Facebook Live or YouTube pages for Lake Murray Presbyterian Church. You can also see my weekday devotionals for Tuesdays and Thursdays on the same sites. These devotionals become my weekly podcast, Simply Stated, which you can access through itunes. A few worship services with me preaching are listed below.
COVENANT BONDS
In this sermon, I seek to explain and illustrate the Biblical principal of covenant. At about 13 minutes, I use a comparison of two pieces of metal joined by two different methods-bolting and welding. That is what you hear clanking as well.
The 100th Psalm teaches us both how and why to give praise to God.
HOPE IN GOD'S LOVE, GRACE AND FAITHFULNESS
In this sermon I attempt to address the very painful and difficult areas of human life, by directing people to look at the character of God as the source of hope. By depending on God's love, grace and faithfulness we can live with hope, even in the midst of great difficulty.
I have a strong suspicion that a sermon of Andy Stanley's influenced my sermon.
We all need a plan for difficult days. Psalm 77 teaches us to cry out, to push and to remember.
The pursuit of happiness is part of American life (see the constitution) and may be the vainest chase there ever was. God's word shows us what to avoid and gives wisdom to guide. More importantly, we can have the living wisdom of God in Christ Jesus.
We see how God both brings and interrupts the trials of life as an act of grace.
To be human, is to be made in the image of God. We take joy in creation, are responsible stewards, have freedom, and present God to the world.
A look at Psalm 23 to see the character of the Good Shepherd so we can trust Jesus.
