Almost a Sermon
Part of what I study is in a filing system, part in a "piling" system. If you visited my office, on and near my desk you'd see "piles" On the window, you'd see Post-It notes. These files and piles contain thoughts that motivate me one way or another. They make me think, reflect on things, remind me of what's really important and what I don't want to forget, intrigue me. There are notes of things I want to learn more about, or thoughts I want to research. Very often my sermons will come out of one of these files or piles.
We're in between series in the Message of the Month, so for this month I thought I'd share with you some of the "almost" sermons, or thoughts on the back burner. Some have been cooking for quite a while. . .some almost ready. Some I just don't know about. . .there may be enough there in that one thought that I don't sense the need to say much of anything else (it would just wind up being "filler" or "fluff.") Sometimes a verse strikes me (most of us have had this happen. . .on one reading the lights come on.) Sometimes a story, a random thought or observation. Sometimes a joke. Sometimes an article I've read. Almost anywhere.
We're trying something different this month. I'm going to be performing the Message of the Month live on the StageIt website. John thomas did a tribute to Moms concert in May, so I thought I'd give it a whirl, too! You can watch me preach this message at 7:30pm on Sunday night, June 9th. Here is the link:
Almost a Sermon with Tommy Oaks: A live online preaching event!
If you're in the Message of the Month club, nothing has changed. You'll still have access to the sermon download (or you'll be getting the CD like always in the mail if you've signed up for it).
Psalm: "All things are thy servants. The Lord hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil."
Well, since the Lord has made all things for Himself, everything has possibility to give us something from Him. So here goes. I hope you enjoy and are helped by these "almost sermons." If you want to add anything, or finish them up and send them to me, great! Who knows? We might write a sermon together.
In the meantime, click around on the site here and listen to or download some of my greatest hits, including last month's message, THE ROAD TO MASTERY.
Also, consider joining us in Gatlinburg September 27-29 for the 3rd Oaks in the Smokies Conference! It's gonna be a lot of fun!
Enjoy!
Yours Truly,
Tommy Oaks

Are you a DABBLER, an OBSESSIVE, a HACKER? Not pretty names, are they? In the words of H.I. McDunnough, "No sir, they sure ain't. That's some bonehead names." We hope you'll take some time to this Message of the Month and take advantage of what God has to say about being a MASTER instead. Several sermons and stories by Tommy are available right here on the site. You can also download them to your computer, iPod, Android or other Subspace Transmitting Communicator.
If you'd like to order them as CDs, we'll box them right up and ship them wherever you want them to go. They make great presents, too!
We're so excited that you can now download Tommy's messages right here onsite. We believe everyone should have access to our stories and songs, so all of our ministry materials are available for Whatever You Can Afford (even if you can't afford anything)!
There is a convenient DONATE button below for those of you who want to help out with expenses. Your donations make it possible for us to keep offering our materials for free to those who are struggling financially.
