"Exchanging the Truth of God for the Lie"
I again was given the privilege and opportunity to bring the morning's message at Grace Community Covenant Church in Olympia, Washington, on Sunday, April 28th, 2024. Many thanks to Pastor Rhyan Smith and the GCCC congregation for allowing retired pastors to share in the preaching! Although I preached on this same text in Romans 1:18-25 on Sunday, March 14th, 2021 at Grace Covenant Church in Bremerton, the sermons are structured quite differently. May God bless you with a deeper knowledge of His love! |

"Overflowing with Gratitude"
I was graciously invited to speak by Pastor Rhyan Smith at Grace Community Covenant Church on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. This occasion was the first time I've preached in a year and a half. I am grateful for the opportunity--but I'm also fully aware that I am unable to do this very often because of my health. Although I preached on this same text on November 22, 2020, the message is quite different, while having the same underlying structure. Thank you to Pastor Rhyan for giving up this time to me! |

This is my last sermon as pastor of Grace Covenant Church. We had our closing service today, but our life continues through our being adopted as a multisite campus of Habor Covenant Church. We are thrilled and excited to see where the Lord leads us as a newly formed congregation! |
