Humility

darryl — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:48:04 +0000

One of the lessons the Lord has been teaching me over the last few years is humility, for which I’m grateful. Last weekend in our adult Sunday School class I had the opportunity to teach on one of the main passages that I have been dwelling on. We covered 1 Peter 5:1–7 but particularly focused [...]

I had the privilege of preaching twice in New Zealand recently during our Christmas break and thought I’d share one of those sermons here. I preached the same sermon both times.

It is a scary thing preaching at Placerita Baptist Church. And I have so much to learn. Here is my first sermon at PBC, on 1 John 1:8-10. This is a great text to preach from, and there is so much in verse 5-10. 2012-06-10.mp3

Recitation of memorized Scripture

If you haven’t already seen Ryan Ferguson’s recital of Hebrews 9-10, you should watch it. If you are interested in scripture memorization, this is quite inspiring. He’s also done a few others, including Psalm 22, this recitation of Psalm 25 and this one of Psalm 145. Earlier this year, I posted some tips for memorizing [...]
