There is something sacred about standing in a pulpit and proclaiming the unsearchable riches of God's Word. It is a moment where Heaven and Earth seem to meet-where the eternal truth of Scripture intersects with the lived experiences of God's people. For me, that sacred place has been the pulpit of Mount Neboh Baptist Church in Harlem, New York-a church rich in history, rooted in faith, and alive with the power and presence of God.

This book, Sermons from THE MOUNT, is born out of those sacred moments.

These sermons were not originally crafted for the printed page. They were preached in real time, in a real place, to real people-people who came week after week seeking a word from the Lord. They were delivered in the rhythm of worship, surrounded by the sounds of praise, the echoes of "Amen," and the movement of the Spirit among a congregation that loves God and honors His Word. Each message emerged from prayer, study, and the burden to speak into the lives of those gathered in that sanctuary. Now, by God's grace, those spoken words have been captured, refined, and preserved in written form.

The title, Sermons from THE MOUNT, carries both a literal and a spiritual meaning. Literally, these sermons come from "The Mount"-Mount Neboh Baptist Church-where I have had the privilege of serving as pastor. Spiritually, the title calls to mind those elevated moments when God lifts us higher in understanding, deeper in faith, and closer in relationship to Him. Just as Moses stood on Mount Nebo and looked into the promise of God, and just as Jesus delivered His timeless teachings on a mountainside, these sermons seek to lift the reader to a higher place-where God's truth can be seen more clearly and embraced more fully.

This collection is both informational and inspirational. It is informational in that it seeks to faithfully handle the Word of God-explaining the text, exploring its context, and illuminating its meaning. Each sermon is grounded in Scripture, striving to rightly divide the Word of Truth so that readers may grow in their knowledge and understanding of God's will.
