My passion, my calling, in life is to preach the Word. The Word that is on the page and the Word that became flesh. God called me when I was 14 years old to "Preach." That's what I truly heard Him say, "Preach." At that age, I thought God would call me to play football, but as I sat praying for an answer to what God wanted me to do for Him in this life, that is not what He told me. I am so grateful for the call God has given me. I feel so close to Him at the moment that I am preaching the Scriptures, and the Holy Spirit has been so faithful in revealing the truth through my preaching. I am just a conduit or a simple hose. The Spirit is the Living Water that is refreshing those who need it.
The most recent messages are from the House of Joy Chinese Christian Church. For the last year I have been preaching and teaching to the, Predominantly young, English speaking congregants. It has been an absolute "Joy" leading them in their services this last year.
If the links aren't timed to the beginning of the message, then just fast forward to where the message starts if you would like to listen to any parts of the messages.
Although I am standing in this beautiful pulpit in Sweden when my wife and I visited researching her family's rich heritage, I didn't actually preach from this pulpit. Afterall, my wife and I were the only ones in there. There are so many amazing church pulpits all over the world that I would love to preach from, but for now, you can hear me preaching from your computer. Scroll down to hear a couple of my past messages, and hopefully you will hear the Holy Spirit speaking to you.

Jesus W.E.P.T. -John 11:35
Jesus W.E.P.T. -John 11:35
It's the shortest verse in the Bible, but it might tell us more about the character of Jesus, and therefore God the Father, than any other verse in the Bible. Here are 3 of the 4 messages of a 4 part series on this verse. Unfortunately the first message was lost to technology, but the messages on W., P., & T. are here. There is a little review at the beginning of each message, so you should be able to get the idea of the first message, E., by listening to the other ones. Yes, the first message was E., even though technically I should have started on the W. The E. stands for Empathy, and I wanted to start with that word because it is the defining word for the whole verse, Jesus wept. The messages were given at the beginning of 2020, right before the Covid lockdowns. I did not, of course, realize at the time how appropriate these messages would be for this time. If you are struggling through anything right now, and who isn't, listen to these messages so that you can know how Jesus FEELS about what you are going through right now. We all need to know this basic, yet incredible attribute of Jesus, and our Father who is in Heaven.
The messages were titled using the letters of Wept, but here are the words that each letter represents in the messages:
W.- Jesus Waits for the right timing in your life, even though you might suffer through circumstances right now.
E.- Jesus has Empathy with what you are going through right now.
P.- Jesus understands the Pressure that we endure as we deal with everything in this life.
T.- Jesus wants to spend Time with us, and will use any and all of life's trials to draw us to spending Time with Him.
Message on W. starts 39:15 into the video.
Message on P. starts 36:00 into the video.
Message on T. starts 45:13 into the video.
