I don't publish sermons very often. For one thing, I don't want to pitch my sermons to people that are not in my congregation. If I know that my sermons will be heard by people I don't know, in cities I've never visited, then I will constantly worry about everything I say. And eventually, of course, I will end up preaching not to the local congregation, but to a more general audience. Way too many pastors fall into that trap. Besides, I just don't want to be constantly thinking about how some critic could misunderstand and twist my words. But, alas, occasionally I throw caution to the wind and post a new one. Here's a sermon in my series on the Gospel of Luke. The passage is Luke 5:27-39. Rip it to shreds.

I'd like to get hold of more of these. Do you plan to host more/weekly sermons?
Well, thank you, Captain Jack. But, no, I don't plan to offer these but once in a while.
That's disappointing to learn, but completely understandable from many perspectives.
I have been appreciative of your writing for some time and am glad to finally have opportunity to hear you teach your flock from Scripture.
Blessings to you and your house.
