A sermon given at Hope Community Church in December of 2005 about the ways in which God converts our original purposes to conform to his ultimate plan.

Home Field Disadvantage is talk I did at Hope Community Church in June 2006. It visits with the early Church in Jerusalem, and questions why, with Jesus' teaching + the power of the Spirit they never left town until persecution hit? Could it be that we are at our best away from our "home field?"

A North Central University chapel service in February 2006 was the location for this talk on three visions of the Pentecostal future and some ways to shift from competing for market share to advancing the Kingdom.

I spoke at Northwest University chapel in November 2005 and talked about how God forms us outside the "official" list of spiritual disciplines, like prayer and Bible reading. I'm bothered by meeting people who are pious and discipline proficient, but aren't good.

This talk was presented at The Oaks Fellowship in November of 2005 and deals with the relationship between Paul and Timothy as a model for passing the baton of leadership from older to younger generations.

A sermon preached at Rockpointe Community Church in August, 2006 that eavesdrops on Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well in John 4, exploring the difference between "grace" as an oppressive force that jams us into a religious box, and "grace" as the love of God filling our lives.
