I was teaching about John the Baptist being the first messenger or forerunner before the Messiah came, and I realized that the Bible has much to say about John the Baptist that we may have overlooked or not considered fully. This began a studious investigation for me, and this teaching series is the result. I hope that it is a blessing to you!
I began this series in December 2020 and did not complete it until January 2021. Some of the files below will be audio tracks only, and some are video teachings. I apologize for any quality issues you may encounter, but I do feel there is some great content in these teachings for those who have time to check them out.
My desire in presenting these teachings is to bring glory and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to bring understanding of the Scriptures to those who want to grow as disciples. I hope that I can be a blessing to those who need it!

I was teaching through the book of I Samuel and reached Chapter 3 where it describes the appearance of the Word of the LORD to young Samuel. I had never heard anyone describe Who this person is that appears to Samuel. This began a studious investigation for me, and this teaching series is the result.
I began this series before the COVID-19 pandemic began and did not complete it before January 2021. Some of the files below will be audio tracks only, and some are video teachings.

The Holy Week teaching series focuses on the major events that took place during the week of Christ’s crucifixion, namely, the triumphal entry, the Passover meal, the trials of Jesus, His crucifixion, and ultimately, His resurrection.
The Holy Week teaching series was planned to coincide with the actual Holy Week activities as they occur on the calendar, but the Coronavirus pandemic changed everything. Our church did not meet for a month and it was difficult to get teachings out to everyone in a format they could use.
I was not able to teach on all the aspects of Holy Week for this series, but I hope to circle back and fill in the gaps some time in the future. Until then, I hope that you enjoy what I have.
I hope that these teachings are a blessing to you!

I have been wanting to do a nature-themed video for some time so that viewers would be able to see the tremendous beauty here at the church property where I live in Perkinston, MS.
Nearly every morning there are sounds of many different types of birds singing, chirping, and calling out to each other as the sun comes up. I hoped to capture that with my smart phone and make a brief video with some Scriptures for reference when I had time.
I finally had a chance to put the video together one morning not long ago.
Hello friends! I am realizing more and more how quickly time is passing, and I am re-prioritizing some things in my life to let the Lord Jesus lead freely. I want to be a vessel that is useful to Him!
I have realized that I need to do more outreach and be more gospel-focused. Fear of people’s reaction has kept me quiet for some time now. It is time for me to be more separated to the Lord, like the Old Testament Levite priests-
“HOLINESS TO THE LORD“!
No more hiding!
For me it must be ALL FOR THE GOSPEL!
Please pray for me that I will bear fruit in my various ministries! Thank you so much!
I am at a place in my journey with the Lord that I want to try to describe to you.
I never knew that the Lord would change my ministry radically by telling me to teach and preach through the Old and New Testaments. We are in Judges now on Wednesday nights at Maranatha and in Luke on Sunday nights. He’s made me read everything in order. He hasn’t allowed me to skip any hard parts. I have learned a lot in the process.
I can’t speak for everyone, but I can say honestly that I am seeing that the Scriptures put a tremendous emphasis on God’s covenants with Israel, and that God is not through with Israel, but is going to see them through to the end and rescue them again!
I have learned a lot about Jesus, whose Hebrew name is Yeshua, from the same root word as Joshua in the Old Testament. Jesus was born of a virgin under the Mosaic Covenant and lived as a Jew. We know that His ministry during the Incarnation was primarily rejected by His people, but He is not done with them. Through His death, burial, and resurrection, He reaches out with the New Covenant to His people first, the Jews, to offer them salvation, and then to the Gentiles. When Jews and Gentiles accept His offer of salvation, we become His and are truly “in Christ” never to be cast out. We are the called out assembly, or ekklesia, commonly known as the Church.
The Lord has opened my eyes to the Scriptural picture of what the church is: Jewish and Gentile believers in Jesus. The church did not start with Gentiles, but with the Jews who accepted Jesus as the promised Messiah, and then Gentiles came in later. Through some tragic events in history, the Jewish and Gentile believers parted and travelled in different directions. Many things have happened in Gentile churches to eradicate the Jewish background of our history as believers. We will never see Jesus as He truly is if we do not become familiar with the Jewishness of our Savior!
I am excited to say that I have a much fuller understanding of what the Savior has done for me in salvation and what He is doing in His body, the Church by looking at the Feasts and Covenants.
As I learn more about what has come before, more pieces of the puzzle come together for me. My excitement grows, and I feel the Lord calling me to come closer to Him, to rest in His grace, and let His Spirit guide me and move through me to reach out to others.
One thing that I have noticed is that many times when I feel the Lord calling me closer to Him, I don’t see that same excitement or drive in other people to get closer to Him. I do meet some folks occasionally that are driven by the Spirit to serve the Lord, but many folks just seem to be OK where they are spiritually, and look at you like you’re becoming a fanatic. Am I becoming a fanatic? Or just walking in truth- the truth Jesus promised would set us free?
So I have these times where the Lord is stretching me, drawing me closer to Him, bringing me into situations where I have to trust Him completely because I don’t know the whole picture of what He is doing. And I feel that I am in the boat, and He is calling me out. And others are with me, but no one else is moving toward Him.
I have to go. He has called me to come to Him. I want others to come to Him as I am, but they have to make that decision for themselves. I have to get out of the boat, and go to Him.
You see, He is my High Priest, and I am living in His New Covenant. I want to experience the fullness and the freedom of that. I want to understand His great grace and give it to others. I want to live out His love before others. I wish others could understand the tremendous freedom I feel to live for the Lord, in His service, and for His pleasure.
So He keeps calling me out of the boat, and I keep getting out and going to Him. He hasn’t let me down yet. And each time I learn to trust Him more and more. I am letting go of fear and growing in faith.
There is a great song by Bryan Duncan called “Strolling On The Water” that talks about fear and how a person’s spirit is held down by it, and how freeing it is to come to the Lord when He calls you. This song has always been a blessing to me, and I hope that it is a blessing to you, especially if you can identify to where I am on my journey with the Lord.
In a world that doesn’t understand you, keep reaching out to people.
Keep loving the those that are hard to love.
Pray for compassion for others if you don’t have it.
Find an area of ministry in your life and give it all you’ve got.
Keep living out your faith for all to see- remember that you may be the only example of Jesus Christ some people see. Make the most of each day for the Lord- He is counting on you to get the job done for Him!
Keep forgiving those that don’t ask, or won’t ask, or don’t care.
Live in grace and give grace to others.
Strive to be exceptional in every way for the Master! Do your best for Him in all that you do!
