We are committed to historic, Baptist principles like freedom of conscience, but we also seek to be an open-minded and inclusive community that values learning, spirituality, and social justice. We invite you to join us on the journey, and hope you will enjoy these podcast recordings of sermons from worship, as well as other recorded programs from the life of our church.

    "The Road Not Taken" - August 2, 2026 Sermon (Forgotten Women: Orpah)

    We're so glad you're listening to our podcast! This sermon is based on Ruth 1:1–22, which is the beginning of the story of Ruth and Naomi. The sermon, however, centers on Ruth's sister-in-law Orpah, who quickly fades from the story. In this sermon we wonder if, perhaps, there is to be something gained by focusing on Orpah's experience? Perhaps she has been too quickly overlooked in Christian history and interpretation. And her experience might offer us deep wisdom for our own lives and decisions today. Hope it will be a meaningful word to you this week. To find out more about the sermon series you can visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.williamsburgbaptist.com/summer2026.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

    "A Woman's Place" - July 26, 2026 Sermon (Forgotten Women: Deborah and Jael)

    We're so glad you're listening to our podcast! This sermon is based on Judges 4:1–24, which is the story of Deborah's reign as judge of Israel, along with Jael's brief but violent encounter with Sisera. It's part of our summer sermon series "Rediscovering Forgotten Women of the Bible." In this sermon we wonder what Deborah and Jael's stories have to say about "biblical womanhood," and if perhaps it's a bit wider and more impactful than we've previously believed. Hope it is a challenging and encouraging word to you this week. To find out more about the sermon series you can visit: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.williamsburgbaptist.com/summer2026.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
