This is a library of various excerpts from the preaching ministry of former U.S. Paratrooper and combat veteran Scott A. Lester who currently serves as Pastor of the Gatewood Brethren Church in Fayetteville, WV (USA). Pastor Scott, wife Tori, and their children Ethan & MacKenzie have attended the Gatewood Brethren Church since assuming his pastorate in January 2004. The GBC was established in 1909 and is today a fully independent (nondenominational) Bible church nestled within the Appalachian mountains of Fayette County, WV, home of the New River Gorge National Park. Pastor Scott is a Moody Bible Institute Alum and ordained as an Independent Baptist minister. Did you know... "GOD so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." And... "IF thou shalt confess with thy mouth the LORD JESUS, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be SAVED."
