Welcome

"So come lose your life for a carpenter's son
For a madman who died for a dream
And you'll have the faith His first followers had
And you'll feel the weight of the beam"--Michael Card

Psalm 10 - The Lord is King



We live in tumultuous times. Wars, violence, protests, cop killings, terrorism, police brutality . . . these things flood our news waves on a daily basis. Where is God? Is he concerned? What is he doing? And why do the wicked prosper? Psalm 10 asks and answers these questions and also takes a look at the rebellious nature of the wicked (our rebellious nature) and how God often judges it. I preached this sermon from Psalm 10 on Sunday, February 14, 2016 at the Winnsboro Reformed Church of Winnsboro, Texas. Just click the link below and it will take you to an audio file of the sermon in MP3 format. From there you can choose to either stream it online or download it to listen later. Solo Deo Gloria.

1 Kings

The names of the Old Testament books don't always give a good clue as to what they're about. For example, the two books of Samuel are mostly about David. Similarly, the Kings are as much about prophets as they are about kings. In fact, after Solomon is gone, the two characters who dominate these books are Elijah and Elisha. Yet they are called the books of the Kings.


In this video conversation, Pastor John R. Pflug Jr. and I talk about the first book of the Kings. What is 1 Kings about? Who are the dominant characters? What is God doing? Where is Jesus? The first video is a little short of fifteen minutes long and the second about eight more.

2 Samuel


David is one of the great figures of the Bible. He, along with Abraham, Moses, and Elijah, towers over the middle of our Bible. He is the dominant figure of the second half of the Old Testament. Most importantly he prefigures Jesus Christ.


2 Samuel follows David from the beginning of his reign as king until the end. What was that kingdom like? If David was a man after God's own heart, what does that mean? Did he never do wrong? Did he ever fail? What about his relationship with God? Did God make him promises?

In this video Pastor John Pflug and I open up the book of 2 Samuel and discuss its contents, what it means for the Christian, and how it points to Jesus Christ. If you are new to the book or if you have read it several times there is still something for you here to learn and be blessed by. The first video lasts about 15 minutes and the second part about 9 more.
