I’ve spent lots of time thinking about our union with Christ in His death and resurrection lately. It is a crucial theological issue, essentially the hub around which all other doctrines about our salvation are centered. Recently I was able to preach on Colossians 3:1-4, one of the central passages dealing with our participation with …
One of my favorite Psalms is Psalm 32. I’ve preached it previously, and last Sunday I had the privilege to preach at our church, Placerita Baptist Church. This Psalm provides us with six steps to go from Misery to Joy, and traces David’s journey after his sin with Bathsheba in 1 Sam 11-12, from the …
Its been a while. Its been busy. But here is a sermon I initially preached in December on Joshua 1:6–9. This is a shorter edition (~30 mins) I recently preached again.

Today I was filling in for Dr Barrick in his adult Sunday School class, and I decided to start a study on 1 Thessalonians. There …
It is a scary thing preaching at Placerita Baptist Church. And I have so much to learn. Here is my first sermon at PBC, on 1 John 1:8-10. This is a great text to preach from, and there is so much in verse 5-10.
