Sermons by Dick High
Matthew 1, Luke 1-3
His Amazing Mother: Why Evangelicals Can and Should Embrace Mary Note: Mike Andrus authored this sermon, but it was presented by his associate Dick High, due to the death of Mike’s father. While this sermon is included in our Matthew series, it is really a follow-up on last week’s sermon on the mother of Jesus and is based on the first chapter of Luke. Scripture reading: Luke 1:26-45 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to…
Genesis 40
When Your Friends Forget You The Biblical account of the life of Joseph is a portion of Scripture that is among my favorites. The primary reason is that these chapters in Genesis provide vivid reminders that God is always at work to accomplish His purposes in my life as a believer. I need that affirmation. I need the assurance that He does care and that He can be trusted, especially when life does not appear to make a great deal…
Genesis 41
From Dreamer to Prime Minister The amazing journey of Joseph’s life continues to unfold in unforgettable ways as we come to Genesis 41. The account in this chapter has two primary areas for focus. The first is the two dreams that the Pharaoh of Egypt experiences, along with his pursuit of an interpretation.

2 Thessalonians 2:13-3:5
The Return of the King Before I begin today’s sermon I want to express my deep gratitude for all the cards, thoughts, conversations, and prayers expressed to me and my family in the days following the death of my mother. We rejoice in the wholeness that she experiences in the Lord’s presence, although we do miss her. The site of mom’s burial is just a quarter mile away from the farm on which I grew up. That proximity helped to…
2 Corinthians 11:16-33
An Apostle’s Reluctant, Yet Intentional Boasting Note: This sermon was preached by Dick High, Associate Pastor at First Free in Wichita. Introduction: In the latter half of chapter 11 Paul continues both his defense of his ministry and his exposure of the false apostles. He will use irony, comparison, and personal example in his effort to present the true character of a leader. His desire is that the believers in the Corinthian church gain understanding regarding God’s leadership values. The ultimate crescendo…
Esther 7-8
Haman’s Last Supper Note: This sermon was preached by the long-time Associate Pastor at First Evangelical Free Church of Wichita. It’s good to be together again today as a church family. This morning we re-engage our study in the book of Esther (two books before the Psalms). Because it has been two weeks since our last look, let’s recall some of the highlights of the unfolding drama. An Unfolding Drama The setting for the book of Esther is within the city…
