Since I'm a comedian, some people think I don't have a serious side. Well that's just not true. I'm a minister first. Comedy is only one of the avenues I use to reach others.
I've been teaching and preaching since I was 17. I have tons of messages, lessons and sermons from teaching at my church, the Heights Baptist Church in Richardson; but I've never posted them. So I thought I would let you hear one I shared recently.
I know this may sound odd, but I'm asked many times to bring a message at funerals. This is such a blessing for me, because:
1) I get to help a hurting family, and
2) I basically get a captive audience for 30 minutes, and I get to share the Gospel with them. WOW!
This is good because, guess what is going through each person's mind during this time--DEATH and where they're headed. And, I get to tell them how to change directions, just in case they're off course.

Anyway, you'll hear that in this message I just posted. It's been edited and it's not long. I hope you're blessed by it. Wait until you hear the end of it.
God bless you!
God bless you!
