I am going to try to make more non sermon-audio content, starting with publishing some of the charts I have made over the years. Here are a couple of overviews of the timelines of the creation of the Old and New Testaments. Note that the narrative books (Law and History in the OT, Gospels and Acts in the NT) are placed on the timeline relative to the events they describe, not relative to when they were written. Hope these are helpful! You can get pdf version here (OT) and here (NT).

On a day when so much of the world is at least peripherally aware of the Resurrection, it is worth examining the power of Christ’s resurrection and it’s importance in our lives.

As we transition from the Old Testament concept of lambs and lamb sacrifices into the New Testament, we are now equipped to appreciate John’s command to “Behold the Lamb of God!” (Note: The first part of the audio was not captured. Sorry!)

Worry is an insidious, destructive force in our lives, just as it was for Paul and the Philippians. How did Paul overcome worry in his own life, how did he expect the Philippians to, and how can we emulate these successes in our own lives?
(Preaching through Philippians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on April 2, 2023.)
After reminding the Philippians not to get distracted by things that don’t matter, Paul answers some of the deepest questions of Christianity. What is the point of all this? What is the goal of our faith? And, how can we make sure we reach that goal?
(Preaching through Philippians. This sermon was preached at the Dewey Church of Christ on March 26, 2023.)
