Sermons At St Paul we follow the historic lectionary. It is a one year lectionary, which means that we cover the whole collection of readings in one year. The one year lectionary covers most, if not all, of the major biblical teachings/doctrines over the course of a year. At St Paul, most of the time the focus is on the Gospel lesson for the day, but there are times when the Epistle or Old Testament lessons will be the focus for the week, depending on the needs of the congregation. On this page we will try post links to sermons in mp3 format. You should be able to click on the link and hear the audio on any media player, like Quicktime, Windows Media Player, Real Player etc. When you click on the respective link below, it will open another browser window and will bring up your preferred media player.

If you are looking for a worship service to listen to, try this link This will provide you will streamed services from a variety of places, along with weekday services, LHM sermons, and other resources.Our Daily Sermon Series during this time will focus on… Pestilence and the lessons of the Church year The daily services will take up the topic of Pestilence and how the church understands them and responds to them. Pastor Speers intends to record a sermon and short bulletin each day, as we remain apart. As of right now we will begin with a simple sermon this topic and then look a bit more deeply at the texts that speak to this topic, learning from the biblical record how we might live through such times. The first sermon (audio) link and bulletin (print) link is directly below. The reason we are not streaming video is file size.
