• Comment to those looking at my sermons: Preaching is never adequate, because human words can never fully grasp the God revealed through Jesus Christ. I preach from a theology of grace: the belief that God is constantly reaching out to all of us because we are all constantly in need of God. "God is love" and nothing can separate us from that love. Be Blessed. Shalom!
