Sermons from the Hebrew Scriptures

An Apologia: The following files are some of my recent sermons in presentation format. I no longer write out full manuscripts. I spend most of my time on the exegetical work and save this material in my on-going commentaries of the texts. Also the limited number of files are because my earlier sermon presentations were all in Japanese.
