Sermons

This page is an archive of all of the sermons preached by Jesse and John McPhaill in Uganda since their first sermons in Africa in June of 2021. All sermons are easily available for mp3 download, and are each usually about 1 hour in length. All sermons from before October 2022 (that is, from June 2021–October 2022) were only recorded in audio. Most sermons in and after October 2022 are recorded in both formats, and for these, an mp4 download is also available.

All sermons are also also available on our ministry YouTube channel, “Baptists for Africa”. New sermons (and other video content) are regularly uploaded.
