Sermon Journeys

Sermon Journeys

Wed, Aug 26, 2009

To introduce you to the speakers and a bit of the motivation behind their message, we asked each preacher to share a bit about their preparation. They give even more depth to each sermon, knowing how God prepared each of them. We encourage you to obtain copies of the sermons after reading these introductions, written by the preachers themselves. For now, enjoy these journeys! Audio and video of the sermons are available after each "sermon journey."

It was almost as if Jesus were speaking directly to me: "Ron, you have been wearing your pastor's hat and it needs to go. Take it off and let me minister to you!"
