Moving Forward By Faith (Joshua 3-4)
December 22, 2017 13:53About a month after my resignation from Immanuel Baptist Church, I was invited back to preach. So, in keeping with my usual practice, we just picked up where we left off and moved forward to the next of the Essential 100 series: Joshua 3-4. The text of the sermon is below. I'm not sure about audio. If I run across it, I will link it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For better or worse, I am
Keep Moving Forward (Joshua 1)
August 08, 2017 22:00On August 6, 2017, I preached my final sermon at Immanuel Baptist Church as pastor. Lord willing, I hope that it is not my final sermon, or even my final sermon at Immanuel, but it is my final one as pastor. As I considered what I should say in my final address, I concluded that the best thing I could do was "keep moving foward" in my Essential 100 series, and as God would have it in His good

Or have you come because you realize that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that
See the Salvation of the Lord (Exodus 13:17-14:30)
July 16, 2017 20:03Audio From the very first verse of Exodus we have been moving toward this climactic event from which the book derives its title. This is the Exodus! The word “Exodus” means literally, “the road out.” And the road out of Egypt for the Israelites leads right through the middle of the sea. Imagine what it must have been like for the Israelites. Egypt was a place of suffering and
Announcement of My "Resignation"
July 16, 2017 19:57Following is the announcement I made on Sunday, July 16, 2017 at Immanuel Baptist Church. I used quotation marks around the word "Resignation" in the title of this post, because I prefer to think of this as a "Reassignment," for reasons I explain below ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Wednesday night (July 12), I announced that I have accepted an offer to serve as the
