This collection of sermons were inspired by my most recent encounters and assignments in pursuit of a Doctoral degree in Pastoral Studies. These messages are not a comprehensive approach to preaching, homiletics, hermeneutics, or the enterprise of preaching. However, these are my thoughts relative to choice passages and their theological, contextual, and practical application from my limited lens and understanding of the individual text.I pray that my notes and sermon outlines will serve to inspire textual engagement and expositional interaction with the bible passages that are included within the pages of this sermon manual.
