Who is George Leile?

Apparently, the pioneer of international Baptist missions . . . and he was a former slave!  Go here for a brief introduction.

What the Bible Really STILL Says About Homosexuality, by Kevin DeYoung

This article is truly profound and, I wager, as definitive a piece in this debate and defense of biblical truth, mixed with true gospel love, as I have read.  And for all that is said, it is relatively short.  Thus, it is jam-packed.  DeYoung shows the flimsiness of the revisionist argument for homosexuality and, in [...]

My Sermon on Exodus 33.12-34.9: God is the Vision for Christian Mission

Debated on whether to put this up because I do not want to seem contrary to what I preached throughout, namely the glory and, as a consequence, the priority of God’s Name and not our own.  So if you do listen, please, please, please, remember His Name and Person, and be mobilized by His missional [...]

May God Be So Gracious To Us

“Humility is the Key to Following Christ”

This is a sermon preached by Pastor Ryan Fullerton.  A challenge to comfort Christianity, and frankly, to me as I continually battle to do that which Christ called me (and us) to do most fundamentally, viz., “count the cost.”  Listen with an attentive heart as Pastor Ryan opens up the worthiness of Christ by the [...]
