Daniel 2:20-23; Matthew 11:25-27 June 25, 2023 Exploring Prayer of Gratitude Somewhere between here and Dillwyn, a farmer was tending to his horse named Buddy, and along came a stranger who was in a desperate spot. His car had run off the road into a ditch. He...
June 18, 2023 – But Not Just for Me
Exodus 32:(7-10) 11-14; John 17 June 18, 2023 Exploring Prayer of Intercession Today, we really pick up with where we left off last week. If you will remember, we were looking to prayers for help, specifically for ourselves. I cannot imagine anyone in this...

1 Samuel 1:9-11; Luke 22:39-46 June 11, 2023 Exploring Prayer of Petition There is an expression in golf – you drive for show but putt for dough. Then, there are the rest of us who flail clubs around. I subscribe to the “monkeys writing Shakespeare” golf...

Proverbs 12:14-28; John 14:1-17 May 21, 2023 How we can do more than Jesus Have you ever met anyone who just really impressed you with their credentials and accomplishments in life? For me, that person is Hampden-Sydney’s last president, Chris Howard. I have...
May 14, 2023 – Mothers for the Ages
Genesis 18:1-15; Matthew 12:46-50 May 14, 2023 Grace overcomes our parent’s failings For those of you who have been following along, you know that last week resembled a Mother’s Day sermon, even though I had not planned for that or intended it. I realized once...
May 7, 2023 – Where’s the Outrage?
Zephaniah 3:1-8; Galatians 1:6-9; 3:1-9 May 7, 2023 We should be much more upset with what’s wrong in the world This sermon may have been better next Sunday as it begins with my mother. I am not sure whether you want to thank her or question her, but a pretty...
