Resume

Greetings,

Welcome to my online resume.

On this page you will find information about my ministry skills, experience, and education.  Also, there are links to audio sermons and a printable resume.  I hope this page is helpful for you to learn a little about me.  Please feel free to read my blog to learn more.  If you would like a list of references please email me at davisj04@gmail.com and I will send those to you.

Thanks for visiting the site, I look forward to conversations about serving God together.

My interests in ministry are spiritual formation, discipleship, and preaching.  In spiritual formation, I am interested in how we as individuals and groups grow in Christ-likeness.  Similarly in discipleship the focus is on following Christ, being the hands and feet of the one who came to serve, not to be served.  In preaching, I want to proclaim the good news of the coming Kingdom of God.  I also want help the local church to see the Biblical narrative as our story, a story that is continuing through the present time.
