    This sermon was preached a week after I have followed God’s call to resign as pastor of a loving church to follow a new call from God.

    Intro: There have been many kind reactions to my announcement (notes, phone calls, visits, chance gathering, compliments) Some more interesting reactions: To my lovely wife Jeana, one person said: “Can’t he go and the rest of you stay!” From Mary D. suffering with serious memory loss, I ...read more

    Nurturing Your Next Pastor

    Shortly before welcoming a new minister, a seasoned minister and friend of the congregation might come and help prepare the church for this new chapter in their history, explaining the role of ministry and how to care for their pastor.

    It will be exciting to welcome your new Pastor! How you view pastoral ministry has been influenced by all the ministers you’ve known. We see ministry through the lens of past experiences, good and bad. Hopefully we see ministry through the teachings of Scripture. My aim is to offer some advice ...read more

    Now it is my firm belief that in the midst of Transition and Uncertainty, the Prophetic Pastor must have a Logos about Theos regarding the Ethos of the Times. He must have a Word about God regarding the Mood of the Times!

    I need not pause to suggest how delighted I am to be in your midst. My prayer is that God will grant you the desires of your hearts and mature you in Christlikeness.

    Jesus wanted to take His disciples through a transition. The Holy Spirit wants us to make transitions. The “other side” represents our God- given destinies, the plans and purposes of God for our lives.

    A message to military chaplains considering the major transition of retirement

    I’ve heard it said, “Real soldiers don’t know any civilians.” For those who make the military chaplaincy a career (the lifers), there is the danger of becoming institutionalized.
