Working with likeminded people
The Apostle Paul's mission sending board was Antioch, not Jerusalem. If it had been Jerusalem, they'd have clawed each other's eyes out.

IMF Resources I promised
This post is for the attendees of IMF in Pell City, AL. I promised to share some of my work with them, on guest follow up and other matters. Here are the download links, albeit a couple weeks late.
Darrell's Sermon Folder -
https://okcbiblemethodist.livedrive.com/Item/8344
Huge ZIP file, about 1.6 GB. Almost all my sermons are here.
<> A beginning caveat: I changed from WordPerfect to Word about 3 years into my ministry, so some of these you might not be able to open, depending on what you have. And, because of the way I prep sermons, you might not always get what I'm saying in my notes... incomplete thoughts, sketchy notes, etc. BUT....
There are tons of folders, including some stand alone "general encouraging messages" etc.
<> A couple documents that might be helpful also are the ones in the root directory folder called "Sermon Calendar 2010/2011/2012." About 3 years ago, I started planning my preaching more consistently, and the result are those documents. I don't recommend you copy me, but I think that you can learn about planning your preaching by looking at that document. I also recommend a short seminar session (about 1 hour) on this by Nelson Searcy called "Planning a 1-Year Preaching Calendar." Google it, it's worth listening to.
<> Two folders worth noticing are "Special Days" folder, which contains Easter, Christmas, Mother/Father's Day, Patriotic stuff, etc.... and "Funeral Sermons" which contains messages I've prepped that might be helpful to you in those scary moments where you have to preach for a grieving family.
<> The real gold mine here is probably the "Series" folder. That one contains all the past series that I've ever done here, including several through books of the Bible, most complete with handouts, etc. Because of the way I preach, there will be an occasional message missing, where I simply didn't prepare notes (or prepared very light notes), because preferred to extemporize that message from the gut without notes. At any rate, hope it's helpful. Don't quote me or give me credit. :-)
Bible Methodist Church Follow-Up System -
https://okcbiblemethodist.livedrive.com/Item/8342
A ZIP file containing most of the documents associated with our followup system. For a description of how to use this stuff, please see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GFxSBFXmv4 I am also including my notes from the session "Guest Follow-Up" from IMF 2012, so you can see the other resources that I recommend there.
Confessions of A Pastor Message on Lust - From IMF 2009
https://okcbiblemethodist.livedrive.com/files/8343
An audio message that I preached at IMF 09 on my struggle with pornography and overcoming that. If you struggle with that issue, I humbly submit it to you as a brother who knows where you are, and by the grace of God is overcoming.
It's an honor to speak to you men. Preach the Word.
