Rarely do I have a session
without passing out my tomato seed packages
and my Wall Hanger Poster.
The Links below will open actual sermons that were recorded live at two churches. The tapes were recorded by the respective church, then loaded to my computer via a tape player and then changed to MP3 files. There are a lot of clicks, my voice sometimes sounds weird, there's some volume changes and other problems but there are no PROBLEMS with the messages! They should play automatically on your windows media player. CD versions are available for those with no media player capabilities.
Capital Fund Raising at Your Church?
Listen to this sermon YOUR COMMITMENT OR HIS? This is a sermon/testimony
of an event in my life that actually started my stewardship ministry. The audio
on these tapes are really poor. Voice quality is unusual and the speed is even
too fast but.............
Your Commitment or His?
I was able to edit this down to one part but boy, does the audio sound
strange! I'll keep trying to get my real voice back onto the sound track.
The Stewardship of Life
I've preached this Sermon hundreds of times! Life changing,
entertaining and Biblical! This Sermon concentrates on the 5 T's of
Stewardship--Time, Talents, Treasures, Troubles and Testimony. This particular
version was taped during a three month stewardship campaign at Auburn
United Methodist Church in Auburn, AL
Here's another version that was recorded live to a CD and then uploaded to my site using FrontPage. This version was recorded at South Side Baptist Church, Ft Pierce, FL January 2007 and is the most recent version on this website.
Cast Your Net
Discouraged? Have you been working for the Kingdom and the
results don't seem to be adequate? Is your career moving like you think it
should? Are you about to give up?
Don't--PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS SERMON,
before you give up. The story is a fishing story, 7 discouraged, defeated
disciples--Their Master and Leader was murdered, on the cross. Their future was
destroyed, their dreams exploded and their perceived work or ministry was no
more--at least in their eyes! Yet, they followed some stranger's instructions
and a miracle was produced. In the pages of this website, you've come across
some strange instructions, some instructions that you most likely thought
weren't for you or that they wouldn't work in your life! Well, Cast Your Net!
He is Able!
Sometimes I refer to this sermon as one that could stop with the title--HE IS
ABLE! A classic 3 word sermon. This sermon is generally part of our 3 to 4 day
Stewardship/Church revival programs. I've found, all over the country, that
folks just seem to think that whatever God is whispering to them--maybe to
tithe, to take that new job, to sing in the choir, to got to college, to teach
Sunday School, to volunteer to help, to........., Well they just think they
can't achieve what HE has in store! They are really kinda right, they can't, I
can't and you can't but HE CAN!
HE IS ABLE!
Whatever He wants you to do, you can do it, with HIS help.
Read Ephesians 3:20 try 3 or 4 Bible versions and then listen to this sermon!
These last two sermons were recorded live at N. Cary Baptist Church, Cary, North Carolina, in October of 2000. The sermons were taken from a live cassette recording made during our team's revival services at this church.
The Perils of Tithing!!
Yes! Tithing Can Be Dangerous! The Devil will attack you! He'll come after your every strength. Listen to my testimony and what the Devil attempted in my life but with God's help, I survived the perils of tithing to experience the greatest faith generating events of my life.
This testimony was given at the First Baptist Church of Fort Lauderdale, Florida. March 13, 1988 Pastor O.S. Hawkins introduces me. First Baptist was in the midst of a huge building program.
How Sandy Smith's Mom made me a Baptist!
A story that shows how we can witness and change lives and probably not even
know the outcome of our witnessing. Sandy's Mother, asked me, " Rick, what
church do you go to?" and this gave me the strength and confidence to
become all that HE wanted me to become.
Listen and Learn, how Sandy's Mom helped me : start a number of businesses, get
an education, to take risks, eliminate worries in my life, achieve
impossibilities and how to constantly be---Stepping Out In Faith and
Praise and Positive Belief.
