The Importance of being Present:
Coming Soon
www.JDavidHoke.com
by J.David Hoke
Many of you know that I have resigned as the pastor of New
Horizons Community Church, and will be pursuing new
opportunities. Currently, I am polishing the rough draft of a
PhD dissertation in the area of Philosophical and Systematic
Theology, which I hope to have in the hands of my doctoral
committee by the end of March. I am also working with the
Rancocas Valley Baptist Church in the official capacity of
Minister in Residence, in order to be of help to this fine
church, and my good friend, Wes Kent, the senior pastor of the
church.
As I seek God's guidance, I feel that it is important to
continue to maintain an ongoing presence on the Internet. So
many people from all over the world have written to me to tell
me how much they have benefited from the sermons I write that I
feel the need to "be present" to continue to provide resources
for those who can use them. It may be that the Lord will enable
me to expand what ministry he had given me on the Internet in
other ways.
Therefore, a new website is in the process of being set up where
you will be able to access sermons, as well as other resources,
and where the ministry can be expanded to reach out to others.
It is only now up in its infancy, but new pages will be added
soon. The address is listed above. The main entry is
www.JDavidHoke.com and
the other pages will flow from that.
Currently, I am now praying about the possibilities before me. I
have always had a heart to teach, as well as gifts in that area.
My passion is to teach those who have a heart for digging deep
into God's Word, and my desire is to develop leaders for the
church of the 21st Century.
This could be in a church context or seminary/Bible College or
Institute, or even a local church large enough to desire more
that just Christian Education, but CE+, a quality CE program
plus a local church Bible Training Institute for the purpose of
training their leaders, and preparing those who want a deeper
knowledge of the great theology that has been so absent in many
churches.
Besides my dissertation, which at least one publisher has shown
an interest in, I have two books that will be practical
homiletical commentaries on Ephesians and Romans. Ephesians will
run about 350 pages and Romans over 500. In addition, I have a
few other books in me regarding issues in the contemporary
church that need to be addressed. I have had a desire to write
for some time. Many have commented on the sermons that I hope to
make available on the web site. So writing will be an option to
be pursued whatever else I do.
Please keep me in prayer, and if you care to contact me, I can
