Dr. Frank A. Thomas preaches "Be Happy, Anyway," based in Matthew 5:1-12 (the Beatitudes). Dr. Thomas uses Pharrell Williams' song "Happy" as an illustration to the Beatitudes which is Jesus' commentary on how to be "happy." The response to this sermon has been phenomenal!!
Dr. Frank A. Thomas preaches in the chapel of Christian Theological Seminary on the text of Exodus 2:1-10 where Moses was drawn from the water. Moses escaped the Egyptian death sentence based upon God providing "friends." Dr. Thomas gives testimony being drawn from the water and escaping the death sentence for black males in American culture based upon God-given "friends."
Psalm 8, 06-12-14, Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, Minnesota
This sermon is based on Psalm 8 and celebrates the wonder and majesty of the Lord in the beauty of stars, galaxies, and the universe -- "How majestic is God's name in all the earth."
Matt. 5:1-11, 5-30-2014, Middletown Christian Church, Lousiville, Kentucky
This sermon is based on Jesus' road to "be happy" as expressed in the Beatitudes in Matt. 5:1-11. It is one of my most popular sermons and has really helped many people. It is centered in the example of Jesus who offered the gift of his life, in the purity of his call, and the discipline and hard work of his call, and his life has gone universal.
