    We can learn a lot from the qualities needed to be a good fisherman, to enable us to be good fishers for men.

    I will make you Fishers of Men – but we don’t start with the Barracudas Story: I occasionally take Bari (my Bernese Mountain Dog) down to the gravel pits for a walk. It’s a bit muddy at this time of year and there is quite a bit of flooding down there too I took Bari down a number of weeks ago ...read more

    This sermon looks at how following Jesus is a life long committment of listening to Jesus and reflecting HIS light.

    Imagine being like those fishermen.

If you ...read more

While in seminary there were several times where when I was studying my friends would try to pull me away from those studies to do far more important things, or so they said. These things included going to IHOP at ...read more
