Preaching from the Pulpit of New Hope Baptist Church

After having served the Lord in the preaching ministry for almost 35 years, and, having served as a pastor of two churches in two states, and sharing my gifts of preaching, teaching, and rightly dividing God's Word, I have committed to share more by writing , "PREACHING FROM THE PULPIT OF NEW HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH". It has been a blessing and a pleasure to evangelize, baptize, and stand as a shepherd to so many people and to witness their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their LORD and SAVIOR. My hope and desire is that God will use this book of sermons to serve at least three different purposes: The first is that He will use it as a tool of evangelism to every unsaved person who reads it; the second is that He will use it as a tool of inspiration to every saved person who reads it; and, the third is that He would use it as a tool of preparation and assistance for every preacher who reads it.

Fields served as pastor of New Pilgrim Baptist Church of Salt Lake City, Utah from 1977 to 1989 and was called to his present pastorate at New Hope Baptist Church of Union City, California in May of 1989.

He is also a Master of Arts Degree Candidate at the University of Utah and has attended California Baptist College and San Jose Bible College.He presently serves as an instructor of an off campus program of the Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary.
