SERMONS
By
Rev. Hank L. Belfield, Pastor
Please Note: The posting of sermons on our website is not intended to be a substitute for membership in a local church or weekly attendance at corporate public worship.  Rather, it is intended as a resource for those wanting a sampling of the preaching ministry at Providence OPC, as well as for our members to have copies of the sermons for distribution in outreach and for their own edification whenever providential circumstances result in their missing a service due to bad weather, sickness, etc.   As confessional Presbyterians, we strongly advocate the importance of the local church and of individuals and families being members of the visible body of Christ, where the Word of God is read and preached, the sacraments administered, and biblical fellowship and accountablity can be maintained.  Media such as television, radio, books, and the internet are no substitute for belonging to a community of saints under the authority of duly ordained officers.
