Guest Preaching for Vacations and various other Occasions

Joanne and I offer many various topics and styles of preaching to fill your pulpit supply needs. 

Whether you are taking a vacation, have an emergency or simply need a “short sabbatical," we are here to support you and the direction your congregation is going in. 

We would be honored and happy to work with you and bring a message that fits into the plans God has for you and the congregation you serve.. 

The messages can be on the Lectionary,  a short series, or on an area of the church in which you believe there needs to be some focussed attention. And while English is my only proficient language,  I am especially sensitive to the needs of Hispanic and Asian congregations.

In over 46 years, I have extensively preached the lectionary as well as many stand alone sermon series on such various themes as:

               • The Gospel of Jesus Christ,

                • Heaven on Earth and in Eternity, 

               • Prayer, The Church,

              •  Forgiveness,

               •  The Nature of God, 

               • Evil and God's Goodness, etc. 

as well as "church topics": 

               • Creating Effective Small Groups, 

               • Mission & Outreach Ministries, 

               • The Real/Kingdom of God, 

               • Visioning: Mission/Vision/Core Values, 

               • Discipleship, 

               • The nature of Worship,                

               • Gratitude and Stewardship. 

We also offer "Dialogue Sermons", with the two of us and Joanne has great expertise in:
