Thomaston Baptist Church27-Jan-19 John 2:1-11 If anyone was interested, there’s a whole lot of literature out there that has to do with this passage, and I’ve read a pile of it. And I’ll bet that most of you have heard lots of sermons preached from it. This is probably one of the most familiar miracle stories in […]
06-Jan-19 Matthew 2:7-23 The wise men, by far, are the most mysterious characters in the whole Christmas story. And that is why the wise men are so interesting to me. This mystery, though, ends horribly and tragically. But it is yet more evidence of the cosmic battle between the powers of light and the powers […]
30-Dec-18 Luke 2:1-20 Most of us here this morning probably don’t remember being born, I certainly don’t, even though I am pretty sure that I was there. But there are stories about our births that we have been told. We probably know where we were born, and we likely know some of the circumstances and […]
Christmas Eve 2018 We had been watching the star for about two months before we really got serious about it. I’m not sure why it took us so long, to make something of this, but you know how schedules are and all; I guess it took us that long to actually realize that it really […]
09-Dec-18 Malachi 3:1-4 It sounds like wonderfully good news. The Lord, whom we seek, will suddenly come to his temple. What a wonderful dream! How wonderful it would be if the Lord came suddenly to his temple. How excited we would be! This is what we have long been hoping for. This is the day […]

25-Nov-18 Psalm 132 Have you ever been so absolutely committed to some cause, worthy, or not so worthy, that you spent nearly every waking moment thinking about it? Did that cause, from time to time, enter even into the life of your dreams because you were so consumed by it? This can happen from time […]
04-Nov-18 Isaiah 25:6-9 When I was a wee little lad, I suffered a recurring nightmare which I have never forgotten. In this terrible dream, all is darkness. Darkness is everywhere. There is no light, and there is nothing to see. At some point though, in the dream, a thick, rubbery, grayish blanket descends to cover […]
28-Oct-18 Mark 10:46-52 It was as good a place as any for him to do his panhandling. It hadn’t always been this way; he hadn’t always made his living by begging. Once upon a time, there had been a job and a family. But then came the terrible accident. He saw it coming, but his […]
21-Oct-18 Job 38 (Reader’s note: the sermon was the 38th chapter of Job. The following is merely commentary.) It’s been years since I’ve seen it, but I really like the movie, “The Wizard of Oz.” It’s one of those movies that you never forget. I looked it up before I went on vacation, and the […]
