My name is Samuel David Harris, better known as “Red,” I was born and raised in Nashville, Tn. I’m 36 years old and now reside in McMinnville, Tn with my wife Erica of 6 years and 4 children.
I made a profession of faith at the age of 9, unknowingly to me because of the false conversion and delusion I was under, I was producing dry, dead, shriveled up fruit in my own name. I had said an empty prayer thinking accepting Christ as Lord was good enough to scathe by, creating a god in my own imagination that was ok with my sin, I struggled for many years with drug addiction, homelessness, jail and mental health hospitalizations. I was demon possessed to say the least.
I had my first child at 25, which I believe YHWH started drawing me to the foot of the cross then. I had a desire to live differently on account of my son, which ultimately still did not produce good fruit. However, I did make some changes, got off drugs and had a desire to take care of my kid. In 2013 I had another little boy, both out of wed lock, due to my lack of respect and honor for my parents and of scripture. 2014 the mother of my boys and I split and I meet my wife Erica. Before meeting Erica in 2014 God delivered me from a couple of diagnosis placed on me at 18 and 19 which were bi-polar and paranoid schizophrenia. I went back per my mothers request for evaluation and was re-diagnosed with no diagnoses in which they claimed I had drug induced psychosis.
Moving forward, Erica has been an immense blessing to my life, and surely she has been an example of Gods mercy and grace as she put up with a unconverted husband and father for several years. On July 12, 2015 we were married and had our first daughter in September of 2015. You guessed it, we were both still living in sin, in a delusional state by both traditions we grew up with.
Erica was attending a Assemblies of God church in Murfreesboro at the time we meet and so to appease her I went. I had no desire to go to church, but because she was there, thats where I wanted to be. I’m grateful that God uses all things for the good of those that love Him and are called according to His purposes. After several years of sitting under deceptive preaching, teaching, years of service in this church, ushering, partaking in choir, teaching children, really doing nothing more than puffing my chest out, God got ahold of me and kicked open the doors of my heart and saved me to the uttermost....continued under "Facebook" link below....

Biblical Theology plays a crucial role in preaching, as it seeks to uncover the overarching themes, concepts, and purposes of Scripture and how it points to Christ. By understanding the overarching themes and motifs in the grand narrative of the Bible, we can gain a deeper appreciation for the continuity of God's message across different books, authors, and genres.
This helps us interpret and connect various passages and themes across the entirety of the Bible, allowing us to present a holistic view of God's character, his plan of salvation, and our role in his story.
Additionally, grounding our preaching in a solid Biblical Theology foundation can help avoid theological errors and pitfalls which diminish exalting Christ and showcase a greater, deeper Gospel connection to those we preach to.
