Sermons

The sermons listed below are all on passages of the Bible related to prophecies of the end times (the branch of theology called, "eschatology"). All of these were preached by myself, Joe Haynes, at the church where I serve as the preaching pastor. I received a Masters degree in Christian Studies from Northwest Baptist Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry in Expository Preaching from The Master's Seminary. For a summary of my doctrinal beliefs, please see our Statement of Faith.

Sermons on Bible prophecy are available from the books of the Bible listed below.
