BBC Sermons & More Sermon Opportunities

A few have asked about my most recent sermon at Bethlehem. They have just uploaded all of the messages delivered by guests during Pastor John's most recent absence.

Because of the names you will see at the link to Bethlehem's sermons, this serves as another great opportunity for a commercial: The John Perkins Lectureship series began on Tuesday of this week, and will run for the next seven consecutive Tuesday evenings at Creighton College. Every week (If it is anything like this week) will be well worth attending. I must highlight that Dr. Perkins is scheduled to speak on August 28, and Carl Ellis on September 25. You will not want to miss these brothers!

No one in recent days has done more for Christian community development in urban contexts than Dr. Perkins. For those who are unaware of Dr. Perkins ministry click here. Carl Ellis has spoken at the Desiring God Pastors Conference, and also as a guest preacher at Bethlehem.

The writer concludes:
Apart from the recovery of expositional, doctrinally-rich and sound, evangelistic preaching, reform and revival are impossible in the predominantly African-American church--in any church.

...January 15, 2007 marks the 21st annual celebration of Martin Luther King, Jr. federal holiday, and...


...because January 14, 2007 marks the 1st annual celebration of The Gospel & Racial Harmony at Grace Church, and...


...because love for Christ knows no racial boundaries, and...


...because I am closer to my black brother, Anthony Carter, with respect to the extra-biblical source that is currently influencing our lives the most than I am to many people I see on a regular basis (I've never met Anthony), and...


...because Anthony's post is so similar to the one I was soon to post, and...


...because I love the fact that two pastors, one white and one black, are being so profoundly blessed by a dead Scottish Presbyterian...
