When my dear friend and brother in Christ Ken Warise told me he thought I should set up a website of all the sermons he had “burned” to CDs plus any others I had on cassette tapes I didn’t do a double take. It was more like a quadruple take. I said,”Ken, are you serious? I mean really. Are you aware of how many preachers today have their sermons every Sunday on their church’s website? And you think I should have 35 of my sermons on the web?”

But over the next several months when we would meet for lunch or just to spend time together periodically in his own low key but persistent way Ken finally convinced me he was definitely serious. I told him I needed some time to think and pray about it. Over a period of what turned into three years of prayer, self debate and running the idea by a few close, honest friends I got an internal “sense of rightness” and told Ken “Let’s go with it”.

However, there was one condition:  This had to be a “we ministry” of Ken and Bill and not just a “Bill ministry.” Ken agreed to this without hesitation.

In closing, I echo Ken’s words that our prayer is that God will speak to your heart through these messages.   Perhaps if they do then you will  share our website address, https://www.sermonsbybillyates.com, with a friend.

With profound gratitude,
