    Fields Of Pain – A Sermon On Matthew 9:35-10:8

    There’s a lot of pain in the world today. But you don’t need me to tell you that.

    People Of The Light – A Sermon On The First Anniversary Of The Uvalde Shooting

    It’s been one year. It’s been one hell of a … year. Some days I feel the intensity, the rawness, and the pain of what has happened and what we’ve lost like it happened just yesterday. Other days it feels like it’s been twenty-one years, even a lifetime. It never goes away. I suppose this Read more
