Itinerary
Unless otherwise indicated, I teach a Bible for Life (BFL) class on Sunday mornings at the First Baptist Church of Durham, North Carolina. Many of my teaching series are available online at the church’s website. I’m currently teaching a BFL class on basic systematic theology and church history. I also periodically preach and teach in other local churches, speak at conferences, and participate in scholarly society meetings. You can see the Audio Resources page for some selected sermons, lectures, and conference talks.
If you would like to invite me to speak at your church or event, please feel free to email me. Besides preaching (which I love to do), some of my speaking topics include an introduction to Baptist distinctives; an overview of Southern Baptist history; an introduction to the Cooperative Program; biographical talks on Jonathan Edwards, George Whitefield, John Wesley, Andrew Fuller, William Carey, Charles Spurgeon, Annie Armstrong, and Lottie Moon; great revivals from church history; Christian calling and vocation; and what the Bible teaches about itself; the importance of church membership; and the importance of church discipline.
