Last month, on September 15, I had the privilege of preaching the installation service for a good friend of mine, Dale Baker. After serving Parkway Baptist in St. Louis, MO faithfully for many years, Dale was called to be a pastor at First Baptist Church of Maryville, MO. I was welcomed by this body and her leaders for a morning of preaching an installation sermon, praying for this group, and fellowshipping with them over a noon meal.

The sermon I preached was from 1 Peter 5:1-11 entitled Look to Christ (attached below). It was a great day. I hope the sermon encourages you, too.
