Will the Real Derek Thomas Stand Up

I thought I would provide information on Derek Thomas, our guest preacher this coming Sunday for morning and evening. So I did a search on the internet of his name. Here is what I came up with:

1) Assistant basketball coach at UNLV
2) Directed the classic movie "Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women"
3) Missionary to Lithuania
4) Minister of Teaching at First Presbyterian Church, Jackson, MS

We will presume that the Derek Thomas of #4 is our speaker. Here then is some bio on him.

Originally from Wales, Derek Thomas is the John E. Richards Professor of Practical Theology as well as Dean of Chapel at Reformed Theological Seminary, Jackson, Mississippi. After pastoring for 17 years in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Dr. Thomas returned to the USA in 1996 where, in addition to his work at the seminary, he serves as the Minister of Teaching at First Presbyterian Church in Jackson.

Selection of books written and edited:
God Delivers: Isaiah Simply Explained
The Storm Breaks: Job Simply Explained
Give Praise to God (ed. with Ryken and Duncan)
Revelation (Let's Study series)
Making the Most of Your Devotional Life
Calvin's Teaching on Job: Proclaiming the Incomprehensible God

Dr. Thomas will preach in the morning on "Falling in Love with Scripture" (2 Timothy 3:10-17) and in the evening on "Soli Deo Gloria: The Heartbeat of the Reformation" (Romans 11:33-36).
