Welcome to my sermon archive — a collection of messages shared through my years as a chaplain and preacher. Each sermon grows from Scripture and everyday life, seeking to bring the gospel close to heart and home. Some are accompanied by artwork or creative illustrations used in chapel and worship, helping God’s Word come alive for all ages. Whether you’re looking for encouragement, inspiration, or resources for ministry, I hope these reflections draw you deeper into the grace of Christ and the wonder of His Word.
