This is an archive of many sermons that have been given to me for safe keeping over the years. I think they have real meaning even today. Please listen carefully and teach yourself and others.

David Padfield - Human Forgiveness
Sep 14, 2026
Sep 14, 2026
27 min
In “Human Forgiveness,” David Padfield examines the Christian responsibility to forgive, using Luke 17:1–10 as the primary text. He describes three important parts of man's character—giving, thanksgiving, and forgiving—and focuses this lesson on the need for forgiveness.
The sermon develops three central points: all will sin, man should be willing to forgive, and forgiveness is a command given by God. Drawing from Luke 17 along with 1 John 1:5, 1 Timothy 5:22, and Matthew 18:15, Padfield considers how Christians should respond to sin and offenses in their relationships with others.
A practical Bible lesson on sin, forgiveness, Christian responsibility, and obeying God's command to forgive.

1983 Lectureship - Open Forum
Sep 4, 2026
Sep 4, 2026
45 min
Each lectureship had an Open forum. These were fun parts of the lectureship where anyone could ask a Biblical question and the men in the audience who were usually preachers who had a topic there sometime during the week were there to give an answer. Lots to be gleaned here and I hope you will listen carefully. This was recorded on July 14th, 1983. Hiram Hutto, Gene Frost, Wayne Greeson and others can be heard on this recording.

David Padfield - Walk Humbly With Thy God
Aug 15, 2026
Aug 15, 2026
29 min
Faith and Facts Press used to sell these cassette tapes. There were many sermons they would sell to preachers and those who needed to hear a good lesson from a reputable preacher from time to time. David Padfield brings us this lesson on, "Walk Humbly With God." There were several problems with the copy I had and I have repaired them to the best of my ability. From what I can tell this was preached sometime in 1981. I hope you will enjoy.

*** I would also note this. I am posting these because they are part of my private stash. I take it as a great responsibility to put this out there to the world wide web, so that others may hear the Gospel preached to them. If I have done this and a copyright is at issue, I will take it down immediately if there is any question. I am not receiving any money for anything I am putting on.

Robert Welch - The New Testament Pattern

This is a true gem. I can't tell you how fortunate I was to get this accomplished. I didn't even realize what I had until after I received it. This was originally on a reel tape. I didn't even have a working reel to reel player to play it and had to have this professionally rerecorded. It is mind blowing to have this piece of Church history.
This sermon was preached by Robert Welch sometime in 1954 at the Wendell Ave. Church of Christ in Louisville, KY. To date this is the oldest sermon I have put on Word and Works. But not only that, this is the first sermon ever preached at the Wendell Ave. Building, which at that time was not even completed. It is remarkable that I have this sermon, and am more than happy to share it with the world at this time.

A sermon preached at the High School Road Church of Christ By Jimmy Tuten. I do not know the date at this time. (I did have to remove quite a bit of noise from the tape and also it was very distorted.) Enjoy.

A Distant Sound
Over the Years I have come under control of MANY sermons. They have been recorded over many mediums including but not limited to cassette tapes, VHS tapes and even some reel to reel. I have my work cut out for me, and what I intend to do is re-record these sermons from many different brethren in the Church. It takes time to remove the noise and make a clearly legible sound to be understood. This is what I will be working on for what looks to be the rest of my life.
I have selected "PodBean" as the means to do this. I am tagging each video with the speaker and sermon title and If it was a debate or a meeting series such things like that.

II Timothy 2:15
"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Debates
I am working on organizing these areas so that perhaps the user can find things a little easier when running through the website. I would encourage the user to please use the pages search feature if you are in need of specific topics...
Meetings and/or Lectureships
Just another piece of the puzzle to getting things organized. This will change in the near future.
