SERMONS
Here you will find a sample of the sermons I've preached over the last several years. Each sermon was written with a particular congregation in mind, and for a particular time, and also designed to fit into the context of the larger worship service. Nevertheless, I hope you will get a sense of my preaching style from the video and audio recordings here. I've also chosen to share with you a couple of sermons for which there are no audio or video files. While sermons are really meant to be heard and not read, I hope they will still speak to you from the page.
