Podcast Overview

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!

Servanthood: Losing Your Rights and Finding Joy

In this episode of Sermons of My Father, Landon Shaw revisits a 1989 sermon where his father, Lee Shaw, preached on servanthood at Common Ground Church. Drawing from Philippians 1 and 2 Corinthians 8, this message shows that true servanthood means surrendering rights, choosing unity, and finding joy in trials. Lee Shaw confronts disputes over worship styles, hymnals, and traditions, reminding believers that everything becomes common under Christ. He warns that avoiding accountability, like in the tragic Green family murders in Texas, leads to destruction. Landon reflects on his family’s own struggles with silence, the courage of his sister to speak truth, and the balance of give and take in marriage. He connects his father’s words to Leonard Ravenhill’s revivalist teaching and to psychology, showing why sacrifice sustains relationships and selfishness erodes them.

What Is Confession: Facing Sin, Finding Forgiveness

What does it mean to truly confess? In this episode of Sermons of My Father, Landon Shaw explores a 1986 message from his father, Pastor Lee Shaw, on 1 John 1 and the meaning of confession. Too often, Christianity has been framed as “victorious Christian living,” where sin is ignored, perfection is claimed, or faith is inherited without question. This sermon confronts those ideas head-on. John’s words are blunt: if you say sin doesn’t matter, if you say you are perfect, or if you say you’ve always been a Christian, you are lying to yourself. Through scripture and Greek word study (hamartia — sin, homologeō — confession), Lee Shaw defines confession not as ritual but as honesty. To confess is to speak in agreement with fact and truth. Landon weaves in his own reflections, wrestling with guilt, accountability, and the paradox of forgiveness. Along the way, he brings in Carl Jung’s idea of the shadow, Socrates’ daimon, and the story of Peter’s denial and restoration. In this episode you’ll learn:<ul><li>What 1 John 1 teaches about sin and truth</li><li>Why confession is central to Christian faith and spiritual growth</li><li>How the Greek words hamartia and homologeō deepen our understanding</li><li>Why guilt, far from being destructive, is often a sign of light breaking in</li><li>How philosophy and psychology (Jung’s shadow, Socrates’ daimon) parallel the biblical call to confession</li><li>Why accountability matters in faith, family, and life</li></ul> Confession is not groveling. It is truth-telling. It is accountability. And without it, there is no light. Available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and iHeartRadio.

Serve and Obey: The Black-and-White Truth of 1 John

What does it really mean to know God? In this 1986 sermon on 1 John, Lee Shaw draws out the black-and-white clarity of the apostle John: light or darkness, truth or lies, obedience or disobedience. Through personal stories, Greek word studies, and sharp contrasts with Gnostic claims, this message calls believers to move beyond lip service into a life that actually walks like Jesus walked. In this episode, Landon Shaw revisits his father’s preaching with reflections on foundation, faith, and obedience — from milk to meat, from claiming to observing, from words to walk. Along the way, you’ll hear family stories, insights on Nathanael, and a moment where the shortest verse in Scripture, “Jesus wept,” becomes the heart of the call to serve and obey. Key themes include:The black-and-white contrasts of 1 JohnThe four key Greek words: ginosko, tereo, entole, peripateoSpiritual foundations and maturity (milk vs. meat)Observing, abiding, and walking in ChristIntegrity over intellectual claimsCompassion and obedience: Jesus weptAvailable on iTunes, Spotify, and iHeartRadio. #Faith #Sermons #1John #Obedience #ServeAndObey #ChristianPodcast
