Kingdom of Light, Kingdom of God
I preached this sermon on May 18, 2014 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Hackettstown, NJ. I also served Oreos to the congregation after the sermon. I’m sorry I don’t have one for you, but have one if they are available to you. I think you will see why as you read. Our first child,…

IMs From I AM
I preached this sermon on April 27, 2014 at Trinity United Methodist Church in Hackettstown, NJ.

Kingdom Alignment: My Plans And Desires
Reading Time 3.5 Minutes “God bless my plan.” For a very long time I have said this mockingly as an example of exactly the type of prayer we should not pray. Living a Christian life requires us to surrender our lives to Christ, which means we live according to his plan and not ours. I…
