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?
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you, Captain Jack. But, no, I don't plan to offer these but once in a while.
ReplyDeleteThat's disappointing to learn, but completely understandable from many perspectives.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
