Sermons of My Father

Sermons of My Father

My father, Leonard (Lee) Ray Shaw, was a pastor for many years from Texas to Oklahoma to Mississippi. While the Lord called him to move on from ministry when I was young, his faith and joy in the scripture has never faltered. This page is my attempt to honor my father's past and share his many sermons. In my best estimate, these sermons take place between 1985 to 1995. As these sermons are copied from cassettes nearly 40 years old, some pulled from attics and others from dusty chests, the quality varies from tape to tape and may jump abruptly due to audio/editing issues. Enjoy!

In this episode, I revisit a sermon my father preached in 1992 called Listening, Learning, and Living with Unity. At the time, he believed churches across Fort Worth could come together. Common Ground, The Vineyard, and Beautiful Feet were all part of that vision. Not to form a mega-church, but to become one body under one Spirit.


He preached about unity. He said there would be no buildings and no budgets. Just the Chief Shepher...

Before I was born, my father stomped across the South sharing the gospel, drenched in the blood of Christ and filled with a passion that shaped everyone around him. It all stopped when I was six, shifting the trajectory of our family in an instant. I was too young to remember his voice behind the pulpit, too young to hold onto more than the smell of the pews and the comfort of resting my head on my grandfather’s arm during church.
