I have been encouraged by the good feedback from many at IBC concerning the Deuteronomy series. Several have expressed appreciation for the practicality of the teaching of the Old Testament. I appreciate your prayers as I plan, study, and deliver expository Bible messages.
I love preaching the Bible the way God wrote it—one Book at a time. With the larger Books, however I prefer to take them in sections, allowing more variety in our sermon calendar. In 2020, we studied Deuteronomy 1-11, “The Love of Your Life” and in 2021, Deuteronomy 12-26, “Love’s Loyalty.” And so… my Life Group wanted to know, how soon can we do Deuteronomy 27-34? Don’t worry; we’ll get back to it!
In the meantime, here are some upcoming messages to be praying for God to use in our church and to others as you invite them to attend or listen online or to our podcast:

December 12, “Startled by Christmas”

Knowing Jesus - The Gospel of John, 6:60 - 12:50:

Of course, all my plans are “if the Lord wills…” God can change the preaching calendar any time through sovereign circumstances or the direction of the Holy Spirit. But, God permitting, I am excited about each of these series.
I am also pleased to announce the IBC PODCAST, featuring the Sunday morning messages. You can subscribe on Spotify or Google Podcasts at these links:
We hope to also make our podcast available on Apple iTunes in the near future.
Again, be praying for the seed of God’s Word to bear much fruit through IBC’s preaching ministry.
