Sermons




Some contextual notes: Some of you may see my sermons at Heritage and go "That's what we want." Great! I can do that! No need to read further, I suppose.
In some cases, I may be applying to churches very different from the church I'm currently at. Heritage Pres OKC is a wonderful community of believers comprised of many older or more culturally conservative saints than some of the places I'm applying. That profoundly shapes how I preach for them, and I may come across quite a bit different, more relatable, less formal, more conversational, in a more relaxed or casual church. 
Also, our evening (PM) sermons are expected to be more doctrinal and longer in nature than our morning sermons, so you'll want to see which one you're listening to, because that could also be shaping a sermon you might be listening to.
Please keep this in mind when evaluating my sermons, Thanks! I adjust for my context. For example, I am able to reduce all these sermons to roughly 25 minutes (or less) when I generally adjust/reuse one of them to lead at the Oklahoma Capitol Bible Study each month. I also am far more conversational in my approach and tone when I take these same messages to churches with a different culture or even adapt them for audiences with more non-Christians present.
