It’s more important to give thanks than to say thanks. In this post we examine the difference and point out four elements of what it means to give thanks.

How Robert Cushman Came to Preach the First Sermon Ever Printed in America

The pilgrims had a difficult first year. Robert Cushman, their business agent, preached the first sermon ever printed in America to encourage their faith. Although the style of English is different, the need for his message is the same today as it was then.

[Tweet “The first sermon printed in America is a message we still need to hear.”]

Ward Cushman


My journey of faith started when I was nine years old when I realized that Jesus died and rose again to pay for my sins. At the age of thirteen I felt the call of God on my life for ministry.

I have been fortunate to work in the marketplace for over ten years and in full-time Christian ministry for over thirty years.

My passion is to teach God's Word in such a way that it is easy to understand and so that God uses it to bring about life change in those who hear it.

It is my greatest joy to see God work through me to produce fruit for His glory!
