The final in my summer supply sermons was delivered from the august pulpit of Amherst Presbyterian Church. Taken from Matthew 11:25-30, I apply Jesus' teaching to the reality that all truth is God's truth, and the Christian's responsibility is to pursue truth as God designed.

This message is the Pentecost sermon I delivered at the Amherst Presbyterian Church. The text was 1 Corinthians 12:7-11, where I focused on categorizing the Spirit's giftings to the church. I had the pleasure of once again filling the pulpit of the Amherst Presbyterian Church. This week I spoke from 1 Peter 2:2-3. This brief passage highlights Spiritual growth as a journey that begins with God’s grace and is sustained by a deep, consistent hunger for His Word, leading us closer to the person of Jesus Christ. Some time ago I was invited to preach at Amherst Presbyterian Church, in Amherst, VA. Recently, I had the distinction of being invited back while her pastor is on leave. This is the first of a number of sermons preached there. This message was from 1 Corinthians 1:22-24 and in it I examine what Paul meant by the cross of Christ as a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks and what that means for us today. The congregation at Holy Trinity Reformed Church invited me back on December 21, 2025 to preach at their 4th Sunday of Advent service. My message was from Matthew 1:18-23 of the lectionary. In it I compare the unbelief of Judah’s King with the spiritual redemption of Jehovah our Salvation; a blessing for the believer, a curse for the unbeliever. At the end of November, I was invited back to fill the pulpit of Holy Trinity Reformed Church for Christ the King Sunday. In this message, I preached exclusively from Colossians 1:11-20 focusing on Christ as King not only of our spiritual reality but also of our physical reality. I had the very distinct pleasure to fill the pulpit of the Lynch Station Baptist Church on November 16, 2025. This is not my first time at this church, and indeed it is like returning to old friends. That Sunday's message focused on the challenges believers face in obeying God. I used the story of Naaman and Elisha in 2 Kings 5:1-14 to illustrate the pitfalls. For a second Sunday in a row, I was back at the yoked churches of New Store and Maysville in Buckingham, County to fill their pulpits on November 9, 2025. This time I focused in on Luke 20:27-38 where Jesus offers a defense for the resurrection and provides a model for believers in their defense of the Gospel. I was invited back to the yoked churches of New Store and Maysville in Buckingham, County to fill their pulpits on November 2, 2025. In this message, I turned to Ephesians 1:11-14 where Paul introduces the believer's spiritual inheritance as predestined and productive. I was once again blessed with the opportunity to fill the pulpit of Holy Trinity Reformed Church on October 5, 2025. On this Sunday, I preached from the lectionary texts of Lamentations 1:1-6; Psalm 137; 2 Timothy 1:1-14; and Luke 17:5-10. This sermon's focus is from Paul's letter to Timothy and on suffering and its fruit for the Christian. |
About the SeriesAfter seven years of ministering to one congregation, I left that church to pursue full-time teaching. Now I minister to middle and high school students and fill the occasional pulpit. This playlist will compile those sermons when I'm able to record them. SDG Categories
