“The gospel is like a caged lion. It does not need to be defended; it just needs to be let out of its cage.” ~Charles Spurgeon The Unchained Gospel is a movement geared toward awakening Christians to the reality of what it meant to be a Christ-follower in
“Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.” Ephesians 5:1-2 They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. And as children often look up to their parents and […]

Nearly five months ago I was burdened to write an appeal to churches who seemed to be ignoring the suspected severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time there were so many unknowns that I was concerned that people were putting themselves at risk for the wrong reasons. A lot has changed since then. We […]
I am grieved because I am unable to properly articulate the necessary empathy for those in our country that are being mislabeled, mistreated and abused because of their skin color. I am grieved because our enemy, the Devil, has successfully planted seeds of hatred and ignorance in so many hearts that has produced the bad […]
"If a Christian recognizes the risk of what they are doing when they choose to ignore stay-at-home orders, then my prayer is that their decision is based on our calling as Christ followers to deny ourselves and take up our cross, and not simply to protect the United States Constitution. We pledge our allegiance to the King of Kings, not to a document or a country. Sadly, many people are making the decision based on the assumption that the exercise of their faith in supernatural immunity ensures their safety and has nothing to do with the cost of true discipleship. God's ways are not our ways. He chooses to heal according to His will, not our demands. Somehow we have ignored the countless examples in the Bible where this holds true."

https://theunchainedgospel.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2003_STLC_Session-3.mp3 In the final session from the 2003 youth retreat, I encourage those who had placed their faith in Jesus the night before to live according to the Gospel and how they can equip themselves for the spiritual battle ahead.

https://theunchainedgospel.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/2003_STLC_Session-1.mp3 In 2003, at the age of 19, I worked as a youth leader for a small church.

I had not really taught the Bible […]
https://theunchainedgospel.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/1-Corinthians-1.17-2.16-Edit.mp3 In this sermon, I share from 1 Corinthians about the power and simplicity of the Gospel message that was preached by the Apostles and outlined by Paul in chapter 15, and how we ought to rely on the Holy Spirit rather than our own convincing arguments to renew the minds of unbelievers. Editor’s note: […]
“…that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.” – Ephesians 4:22-24 In chapter 4 of […]
As we transition into the second half of Ephesians, Paul wants us to put the truths he expounded on in the first half into perspective. The first three chapters have been very doctrinal; the final three chapters will be very practical. In other words, now that he has told us what God has done for us, he wants us to see what God wants to do through us. Our role as believers is simply to allow God to use us as His hands and feet to do what He has already enabled us to do. Easier said than done, right? He has called each of us to something specific and significant, and He desires that our calling be lived out cooperatively among all the saints in the body of Christ.

Recorded November 4, 2015 at Calvary Fellowship of Lansdale.
In this sermon, we look at one of the most incredible stories in all of Exodus, if not the entire Bible. After the children of Israel are dealt with for having fashioned the golden calf, God promises to lead them into the according to His promise, however because of their sin, God reveals that His […]
In this sermon, we take a look at how the daily offerings were pleasing to the Lord, and how God always wanted there to be fragrant incense and oil in the temple. Just as the priests had a special scent that lingered on their bodies and clothes as they moved throughout the camp, so we as […]
The word Tabernacle literally means “dwelling place” and throughout the Bible we read about a Holy God’s desire to live among His sinful people. In this sermon, we look at how the wilderness tabernacle, and the eventual temple in Jerusalem, accomplished this purpose partially and temporarily. But this was only a shadow of what God had in mind […]

Everyone talks about the will of God, but in this message we talk about how God is in authority over the will of every person, and how when He says He WILL do something, you can be sure it will come to pass. Recorded March 11, 2015 at Calvary Fellowship of Lansdale
Author’s note: When referencing “speaking prophetically” in today’s world, I am not referring to extra-biblical revelation, Holy Spirit fortune-telling, unfounded predictive statements or any other misuse of the term by the Word of Faith Movement or the Signs and Wonders Movement. Rather, in the sense of how the prophets of old spoke the truth of […]
