Sermons That Resonate
Allen Chapel has been blessed with the leadership of Rev. Edward A. Scott who — for more than 25 years — has been a clarion voice for God’s people in Staunton, Virginia.
The recent pandemic and sequestration has allowed the sermons of Rev. Scott to find expanding audiences on YouTube and Facebook. We encourage you to spend just a few minutes to discover this gifted orator called to God’s service.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.
Whereas our ancestors (not of choice) were the first successful cultivators of the wilds of America, we their descendants feel ourselves entitled to participate in the blessings of her luxuriant soil.
A LOVE SUPREME
On Sunday, September 25, 2022, we celebrated worship at Allen Chapel with the melodies and improvisations of America’s original art form: Jazz.
The music of Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Lee Morgan and others will punctuate the Gospel message with an urgency, creativity and tenderness that is often relegated to smoky clubs and bars like the Blue Note, Birdland or the Village Vanguard.
