CRSNB SERMONS

Sermons by (mostly) Scott Blevins at Chester, Rock Springs & New Beginnings UMCsA sermon is, at its best, a real-time encounter among God, the preacher and the gathered people. Because of this, these sermons are context-dependent: the message is primarily for me and the church where I preached them. I believe other people can find hope & insight from them, though. If you are one of those people, I'd love to hear from you.© Scott O. Blevins 2023. Share on social media with credit to Scott O. Blevins and a link to this podcast.

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Sermons by (mostly) Scott Blevins at Chester, Rock Springs & New Beginnings UMCsA sermon is, at its best, a real-time encounter among God, the preacher and the gathered people. Because of this, these sermons are context-dependent: the message is primarily for me and the church where I preached them. I believe other people can find hope & insight from them, though. If you are one of those people, I'd love to hear from you.© Scott O. Blevins 2023. Share on social media with credit to Scott O. Blevins and a link to this podcast.
