How I preach
I preach through books of the Bible, verse by verse, because God's Word sets the agenda better than I can. Sermon series from Tucker on Revelation, Zephaniah, 1 John and the Apostles' Creed are archived at anthonyrlocke.com.
Ministry sites I help with include Reformed Family, Just Prayer and Bike and Bible.
