SERMONS AND BIBLE STUDIES
Click here for a frames based viewer of the sermons on Each New Day A Miracle
I have on several occasions been given opportunity to take services at Westney Heights Baptist Church; Crossroads Community Church (where I served as a member of the Teaching Team); regular services at Pickering Standard Church (where I had the pleasure of serving as Assistant Pastor on various occasions over an eleven year period); and at several churches where God has blessed me by allowing me to serve as pulpit supply. I have added some of my favourite sermons from those experiences here so that others beyond my normal audience may see what I was given by God to say.
I do not believe that preaching is intended to be taking the advantage of a captive audience in order to win an argument or forcefully prove a point. I believe that it is an intimate partnership between God and man where God gives direction to the words the man chooses so that those whom He knows will attend service will hear what they need to hear from the one He has selected to say it. Preaching serves as the feeding of the children of God with spiritual food and also as an introduction for those who are estranged from God to His perfect love for them. It is my belief that all sermons should encourage a closer relationship with God on the part of those who love Him and foster a desire to know Him in those that do not. The Gospel is not difficult. It is an essential yet simple message of tremendous hope and great joy to all. The goal of my preaching has been to convey the excitement, and wonder of the Gospel to those who have come to hear.
One request that I would like to make at this point is that the sermons listed here are intended for personal enrichment and development of a closer walk with God. I do not wish them to be directly used by those who "have run out of time" and need a prepared message quickly. If you do make use of anything I have said, which I certainly do not wish to discourage, please do so in a way that honours the gifts given to you by God for the work He is using you to do and do not simply copy word for word what has been written here. Thank you.
