He helped found the American Baptist Assn. and the Bible school at Little Rock, Arkansas. He held many famous debates with different denominations on various Bible doctrines. Dr. Phillips found this very rare recording originally done on silver wire or LP recording. This was part of an original broadcast radio program that Dr. Bogard spoke on for many years. We repaired and patched this recording together for your listening pleasure. This was originally recorded about 65 years ago. This is a real voice from the past. We have found four messages that Dr. Bogard preached. We send these forth for your edification.
Dr. Martin V. Canavan
Dr. Canavan 1923-1980 was a legend among the Missionary Baptist Work. In this list you may listen to some of his great messages. Dr. Canavan was one of Dr. Phillips' close friends. Dr. Jim wanted these messages placed here for all to enjoy. Bro. Canavan was one of the early radio ministers in the state of California. Each church that he pastored he pastored for years and always accomplished much in every palce he worked. He lead the leaders in the churches. They looked up to him for advice and they took it. He taught at CMBI for years. Dr. Jim tells stories of Dr. Canavan leaving the hospital after being admitted for heart attacks and going right straight to his classes at the seminary to teach God's Word. He gave his all for the Lord until the last day of his life. With great love and affection we present these messages, for your edification, that we can learn from and remember this man walked the walk as few would dare to do.

Kenneth Hooper
From the archive of Dr. Jim, here is a memorable sermon by Kenneth Hooper.
Dr. H. Travis Hubbard
Dr.
Harold Travis Hubbard was my father in the faith. We were as close as a
father and son. He was my teacher and my friend. Dr. Hubbard was born
in Arkansas August 16, 1911 he died July 15, 1998 in Shawnee Oklahoma.
Brother
Hubbard spent all of his life teaching Greek and Hebrew in Seminaries
in Arkansas and California, from 1931-1994. He was a shy man the most
humble man I ever met. It is with great honor and humility that I place
Dr. Hubbard's sermons on this website.
Dr. Darius Sherwood Madden
Dr. Madden 1921-2004 was one of Dr. Jim's favorites. Bro. Jim used to say that Bro. Madden had more horse sense(common sense) than a whole heard of wild mustangs. Bro. Madden told things the way that they are no words or expressions left out. He was plain teacher of God's Holy Word with insight into the depths of truths few have walked. I don't think Dr. Jim preaches very many sermons without referring to this great man of God.
