David’s fight can easily be compared to that of the Church. She leaves behind Saul’s armor when she looks for less structure, less worry over financing her works and buildings; when she frees herself from political support.
Silent Night at Taylor University – Another night, Another Lay Up
Keaton Hendricks plays basketball for Taylor University. He shoots lay ups, long shots, free throws, the whole bit. But one night, there was one shot, that set everyone cheering like none of his other 351 points that season. 2014 Taylor University Silent Night from Dan Hendricks Media on Vimeo. They do this close to Christmas […]
Humble and Powerful Army Guy
[1] After he had finished all his sayings in the hearing of the people, he entered Capernaum. [2] Now a centurion had a servant who was sick and at the point of death, who was highly valued by him. [3] When the centurion heard about Jesus, he sent to him elders of the Jews, asking […]
Wonder and Praise in Luke 1
I love the way that twice, in the opening chapter of the Gospel of Luke, there is wonder and awe at God. First from Zechariah, Zechariah said to the angel, “How can I be sure of this? For I am an old man, and my wife is old as well.” (Luke 1:18 NET) Then from […]
My Christmas Sermon (written)
Unwed mothers, corrupt taxes, angels, felons, and Christmas. These are the notes from my sermon at Westminster the weekend before Christmas.
Advent of Peace

Notes from Luke 1
Now while Zechariah was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, he was chosen by lot, according to the custom of the priesthood, to enter the holy place of the Lord and burn incense. (Luke 1:8, 9 NET) Now it was because of a man’s rules that a priest would be […]
Jesus was Tempted
Today I met Andy J at the bank and we talked about Luke 4. The amazing thing about Jesus being tempted in the desert, I think, is that a lot of times we‚Äôve been ripped off and analyze what the temptations represent or what they symbolize and the way He resisted w/ God‚Äôs Word or […]
Prepare the Way then Get Out of the Way
Luke 3:3 He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. Luke 3:4 As is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet: ‚ÄúA voice of one calling in the desert, ‚ÄòPrepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him. […]
