Preaching at Wayside Full Gospel Church, Cocoa, FL

"These pictures were taken on Sunday, January 18 during a trip that my friend Doug Magoon and I made to Central Florida. The choir sang a song called 'In His Time' that I had not heard before prior to this service. The song touched me deeply, and I could feel the Lord's presence very strongly during the opening part of the service. I chose this opportunity to make the first public announcement about how God changed my calling from preacher to pastor.

I preached a sermon called the Stairway of Ahaz out of 2 Kings 20:1-11. and Isaiah 38:1-8. This is the place where the Bible records a miracle God performed by making the shadow of a sundial travel backwards. For an illustration, I shined a flashlight on the ceiling to demonstrate how the sun must have reversed its course in the sky for this to happen. Ahaz was an evil king who died fourteen years before the events described in 2 Kings chapter 20. The sundial was a relic of his time and a reminder of his sinful ways. The sermon concluded in James 1:11-15 with a call to put away things from our past that could tempt us to go back to former sins."

Singing at Rocky Branch Independent Holiness Church of God, Walland, TN

"As a volunteer with Spirit and Truth Ministries, my mother and I were invited many times to the Rocky Branch Independent Holiness Church of God during the 1990s to sing gospel music. Out of the blue, the pastor, Robert Jennings, called me and asked us to return to their church. As a sort of reunion for the Spirit and Truth Singers, we went and performed on July 11, 2009, when these pictures were taken. My mother made the trip from Kingston, Tennesse to join me for this event."
