(Matthew 16:13-23)
May these words of this Peter be like a rock,
not a stumbling block!

"Who do you say
that I am?" Jesus asked. Simon Peter answered, "You
are the Messiah, the Son of the living God." And Jesus
answered, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah! ... You are
Peter (petros), and on this rock (petra)
I will build my church..." Jesus then began to speak of
the rough road ahead. And Peter took him aside and rebuked him... "Get
behind me, Satan!" Jesus replied. "You are a stumbling
block..." (Matthew 16:13-23) May these words of this Peter be like a rock, |

preached at
Long Green Valley Church of the Brethren
Glen Arm, Maryland USA
by Pastor Pete Haynes
Like many
preachers, I use a variety of styles. Starting in 2005, most of my sermons have
been delivered without a manuscript. This development followed a visit to our
sister congregation
in the Dominican Republic, and the freedom of preaching extemporaneously there.
Since 2009 we have digitally recorded the audio into .mp3 files, so that
these sermons can be heard online. However, there are complete
written worship services online (since 2000) to go with these sermons.
This is how we pass along the info needed by our worship leaders every week, the
majority of whom have access to the Internet. As there are over sixteen years worth of sermon manuscripts
and/or recordings in these pages, you
might find a message on a particular text or lectionary
date in the indexes below. We still send the prayer list (the shared joys
and concerns) to those in our fellowship who are unable to attend on a given
Sunday, as well as to those who have requested them (a rather large list), although we no longer - as in the past - send the sermon (or web-link for the majority of
folks with email).
I generally
follow the Revised Common Lectionary (a 3-year cycle of scriptures), but will often choose
to go in different directions. Below are my sermons, listed beginning with the most
recent. At present I plan a month in advance, and list the "menu"
in the church
newsletter. - PLH (click

All my sermons are indexed according to:
a) Scripture Text, b) Lectionary
Cycle, & c) Year Preached
There is also a site search tool.
See also the index of sermons preached by
others when I am away.
For various versions of scripture,
see Online
Translations of the Bible.
For a list of some of the resources I use,
see my Bibliography.
Check out my index of Children's
Time messages.
Read about our Hearing Induction Loop, a simple and inexpensive means of helping those with a hearing disability (and a hearing aid equipped with a telephone switch) to better participate in worship.
For other relevant resources (leader how-to's,
hymns, prayers, etc.), see Worship
