A Love Works Daily Sermon

Do the right thing was a film from 1989 by Spike Lee that dealt with issues of racial conflict in the multi-ethnic community of Bedford, a neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. It was fictional, but upon its release, police departments across the country were put on alert in fear that the
 movie would upset people to the point of riots breaking out. None did, but it did get the movie a lot of good publicity.

Love Alive: A Sermon Based on Deuteronomy Chapter 6
In a world where more and more people are focused on things of the world and seemingly not the heart of the Lord, how do we participate in keeping the knowledge of God's Love Alive in this world?

The Bible: Is it Truly the Word of God or Just a Book Written by Mortal Man?

Harry Potter is still an enemy of many fundamentalists Christians who have found Biblical passages to sustain their belief all books and movies about him should be burned.

Where Morality Comes From, One Atheist's Opinion
I believe that morality in its most basic sense, empathy, is not just a social construct but a product of evolution. In extended families or tribal clusters as our ancestors must have lived co-operation would have been paramount to survival.

Thank you for writing me. They are "more or less" exact manuscripts. Sometimes I write them out first, and other times write them out after I give them. I find that it works well for me for several reasons. First, I desire to post them online to reach a larger group of hearers than the local church. Second, it allows me to work several weeks ahead on a number of sermons at once (allowing me to drop in little bits here and there as the Spirit moves me). Third, I have heard so many "wandering" sermons in my life and I get to the end and have heard a bit here and a bit there, but over all, there is no cohesive message. Writing them out helps me to stay focused on a central topic or theme. Not every sunday does the Spirit move me to the same degree. Having them written out helps me to be able to "preach to myself" as well, if that makes sense. Just a couple ideas. God Bless you in your studies and ministry (whatever form that takes).

Interesting how you write out exact manuscripts for your sermons. As a current student studying at a Christiani university, I was wondering how this has worked for you. It's apparent you're seasoned pastor so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask!
