My name is W. David Holwick and from 1989 to 2018 I was an American Baptist minister at the First Baptist Church of Ledgewood, New Jersey. We were a medium-sized congregation with about 120 people attending each week and were affiliated with the Evangelical Network in our state. From 1982 to 1989 I was the pastor of the First Baptist Church of West Lafayette, Ohio, when it was on Russell Avenue. I was born on an Army base in Japan in 1955, went to high school in Heidelberg, Germany, and graduated from Wheaton College with a major in Bible in 1978 and from Gordon-Conwell Seminary with a Master of Divinity in 1982. My wife Celeste, who is a uterine/ovarian cancer survivor, married me in 1980 and has been an incredible "helpmate" in my ministry through the years. She specialized in running the youth groups. She also earned much more than me as a registered nurse who managed a shift at the local rehabilitation hospital.
We have four children who are all grown and live in Colorado, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. We have now retired to the first house we have ever owned in Boothbay, Maine. From our backyard (above, with everyone except Lennox) we can launch our kayaks into the Cross River - when the tide is high enough. Our family webpage is here (I tend to only update it with my annual Christmas letter and use Facebook for current things).
I have done my sermons on a computer since 1988, starting with an 8 mhz Radio Shack TRS-80 portable with 64 kilobytes of RAM; I now use an HP Pavilion with i5-6400T CPU @ 2.20GHZ and 12,582,912 kilobytes of RAM (12 gig). All of these sermons and tens of thousands of other sermons and illustrations are in my free databases; details about downloading them can be found here. Databases have more powerful search capabilities than this simple archive.
Feel free to use any of this material as long as it is for your personal use and not for commercial gain. Please give credit in any printing of your sermon, especially if you place it on the internet.
