Audio and Articles
Paul and the Philippians
(NOTE: The first 5 minutes of this audio is very distorted. Sorry.) We begin our series on the letter to the Philippians by considering Paul’s previous relationship with the people in Philippi. Why did he feel such great love for them?

The Duality of Man
We conclude our look at David’s life and see the core idea of almost all Bible characters: no one is perfect. David exemplifies both the best and worst parts of human nature. How then could God call him “a man after his own heart”?
(Preaching on the life of David. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on February 12, 2023.)
Strangers and Sojourners
As we conclude our series on church membership, we consider the concepts of homelands, nationalities, and identity. How should being a church member affect the way we think about these things?

Numbering Woes
David’s census is one of the most theologically complicated stories in his life. What is going on in this story, and why should it matter to us?
(Preaching on the life of David. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on February 5, 2023.)
Found Family
Jesus’s warnings about family love can be both shocking and frightening. Why does Jesus expect such absolute loyalty, and what does he offer in return?

The Importance of Good Works
There’s no doubt that God expects His children to do good, but how should the structure of the church contribute to or influence the good that we do?
(Preaching on church membership. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on January 29, 2023.)
The Need for Accountability
“Church membership” as a concept requires consideration of two ideas: the commands in scripture for church conduct, practice, and relationship, and the practical demands of meeting those commands. The principle of “accountability” lies at an intersection of these two ideas.

The Saga of Absalom, Part 3
Absalom’s saga concludes not with joy, but with sorrow. How did it get to this point, and how does David respond?
(Preaching on the life of David. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on January 15, 2023.)
The Local Church
As we consider “church membership” we must more specifically define what “church” means? What is a church? What is the church?
(Preaching on what it means to be a church member. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on January 15, 2023.)
