PREACHING and TEACHING
Below are three main focuses I can bring to a service, small group, or other venue. In this, my goal is to honor God and serve the people in your care. I can tailor these to your audience, sermon series, or time restraints. Or, I can develop something new that fits into your theme, series, or needs.
Destiny Decisions
My dad was a drug smuggler. My mom was a witch.
I became a pastor.
Centering on Ruth's decision to follow Naomi to Israel, and illustrated by my own family legacy, this teaching focuses on the power of cross to change legacies.
Highly motivating and inspirational, this teaching points to the grace of God and calls for our response.
Earth to Eternity
By expositing Matthew 6:19-21, this sermon expounds a profound biblical principle about the transient nature of material wealth and the enduring value of spiritual riches, challenging individuals to evaluate their priorities and align their hearts with what is eternally significant.
This teaching is great for a stewardship or generosity focus or in a small group setting.
MISSIONAL
The great commission in Matthew 28:19-20 calls us to GO...
What does that mean? How can we live out the mission of God in our daily life, our cities, and in the world?
This practical theology teaching starts with expositing Matthew 28:19-20 which then leads to concrete steps to apply the truth in our own lives.
SAMPLE SPEAKING
In order to screen for your church, you will find a couple of the sermons from my time on the teaching team in Corona, California. Prior to that, I was a Senior Pastor at Citipoint Church (www.citipointchurch.com).
While in California, I was recruited into sales, and I took a hiatus planning on a two-year break. However, that led to writing and corporate training. From 2019-2023, most of my speaking was in board rooms, conferences, or virtual workshops. I've included a few samples from those as well if you wish to take a glimpse. (More can be found on YouTube.)
While these videos provide a sample of my speaking. I'd love to connect with you on Zoom, by e-mail, by phone, or over coffee to see how we may partner together to break the cycle of poverty around the world and through the Gospel.
